$25M project okayed for CCTV in prisons

Cabinet has green lit a $25 million project which will see CCTV Surveillance Systems being purchased for the Guyana Prison Service, Minister of State Joseph Harmon announced on Friday.

This development follows repeated concerns about the security arrangements in place at the country’s prisons and the fact that raids continue to unearth large amounts of contraband.

Speaking at a post-Cabinet press briefing, Harmon said the contract in the sum of $25,719,619 has been awarded to NT Computeac.
