As the Ministry of Housing and Water inked contracts to the tune of $56.8 billion, Minister Collin Croal yesterday warned contractors that delays will not be tolerated and urged them to begin mobilisation immediately.

“This government has made commitments to the people of Guyana and to applicants who are waiting for their lots. So, therefore, you have to ensure you meet your timelines,” Croal exhorted the contractors gathered at the Arthur Chung Conference  Centre in Liliendaal.

A total of 126 contracts were signed between the ministry and contractors for works to be executed on bridges, road networks and culverts, among others.
