Ministry still studying how to make High St building safe for occupation

A team from the Ministry of Public Infrastructure is still examining ways to make the controversial High Street complex, which formerly housed the Guyana Broadcasting Cor-poration, safe for occupation, Minister of Natural Resources Raphael Trotman said on Thursday.

Speaking at a post-Cabinet press conference at the Ministry of the Presidency, Trotman said the structure “stands out as an embarrassment” for the past administration be-cause over $700M was spent and the building, located at Princes and High streets, is no closer to being occupied.

The Public Infrastruc-ture Ministry’s involvement was announced since last year June. It is unclear why the team is yet to make a final decision.
