Use transparent processes to select the harbour bridge’s contractor

Dear Editor,

I drive between Essequibo and Georgetown for a livelihood. I use the Harbour Bridge more than most. I am really happy that there are many good companies bidding to build the Bridge. This is progress. I have wasted so much of my life waiting and waiting and waiting because the Bridge was closed….or was it because it was opened – after so many years I still don’t get it. I call for transparency. Real transparency. The company that gets this contract should have the people in mind. How will this Bridge affect the people? I hope that the contract is just not given to some company who knows some big boy or gyal in politics. Every company deserves a fair chance. The impact of this bridge on the Guyanese people is of most importance. God smiled on Guyana and its people deserves the best. Keep the blessing on us. Choose the best company. Play a fair game. No favourites. 

Sincerely,

A. Persaud
