Gov’t still seeking resolution in India drainage pumps fiasco

The Government of Guyana remains in discussions with the Indian supplier of the nine non-performing drainage pumps procured under the previous APNU+AFC government, according to Minister of Agriculture Zulfikar Mustapha.

He said that since discussions began, the company had requested some technical information from his ministry which was forwarded to them.  He noted that they are now awaiting a response which will influence the decision on the way forward.

“Negotiation remain in progress and we are working to find a solution. What we want is to ensure we have the correct specifications of what is required to do the work,” Mustapha told Stabroek News last week.
