In terminating the $413 million contract for the rehabilitation of the Leguan Ferry Stelling, Attorney General Anil Nandlall has informed contractor S. Maraj Contracting Services that the government would be claiming against the performance and mobilisation bonds due to the delay in completion of works.
Public Works Minister Juan Edghill recently announced the government’s decision to terminate the contract, while noting the findings of the Audit Office of Guyana, which has determined that the contractor “is incapable, unable, and does not possess the wherewithal” to successfully execute the project.
In a letter to Satrohan Maraj, dated February 22nd, 2021, Nandlall noted that the $413,259,260 contract was executed on September 20th, 2018, between the firm and the government through the Transport and Harbours Department (T&HD).
