President David Granger yesterday expressed satisfaction with the progress of work at the D’urban Park Development Project where key aspects of the independence jubilee celebrations will be held.
A statement from the Ministry of the Presidency said that Granger toured the facility early in the morning, days after responsibility for the project was taken away from a public-private partnership over shoddy work and entrusted to the Ministry of Public Infrastructure (MPI).
The release noted that MPI is implementing a double-shift system to ensure that work is completed in time for the May 12 deadline which has been set for the completion of stands and other works. Granger emphasised that the safety of the Guyanese people is a top priority.
“Well the purpose of the visit is to find out exactly how much work has been achieved and how far it has gone.
