Hundreds of workers from GuySuCo are expected to be retained as the National Drainage and Irrigation Authority (NDIA) will be taking over maintenance of the drainage and irrigation systems from the sugar company.

According to a release on Monday from the Department of Public Information (DPI), CEO of the NDIA, Frederick Flatts confirmed that the Authority would be taking over the works and that some systems have already been put in place for them to assume control of the maintenance of drainage and irrigation canals that were previously controlled by the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo).

“We have received some additional money to carry out those works. So, we have had discussions with GuySuCo to that end, and shortly NDIA will take over that responsibility,” the statement quoted Flatts saying.
