The Region 10 Regional Democratic Council (RDC) is seeking answers from Regional Executive Officer (REO) Dwight John over the collapse of the drains at Silvertown, in Linden, and the continued award of contracts to the contractor, who the region flagged due to the poor quality of work on projects.
Daniel Sugrim, of D&R Construction and Machinery Rental, was awarded the contract via waiver of Tender Board procedures, which the RDC has also questioned.
The council has said during a visit in May, the Regional Engineer raised serious concerns over the quality of works that was being delivered in Silvertown, where a street was being paved and the contractor was tasked with building 600 meters of retaining wall to support the road works.
