City Engineer Colvern Venture on Thursday said his Department is being hindered in the performance of its duties by the inability of the city’s Finance Department to procure needed material, which has been stalling critical works.

His comments came in wake of criticism by Mayor Ubraj Narine, who on Wednesday voiced his disappointment with the City Engineer’s Department after the Works Ministry intervened to replace a broken valve that contributed to flooding in the Stabroek Market area.

Narine noted that Venture’s Department had been instructed to replace the valve.
