Saying that it would end up costing taxpayers millions, APNU+AFC Member of Parliament (MP) Ganesh Mahipaul, has launched a scathing attack on the Minister of Agriculture, Zulfikar Mustapha, for his decision to terminate a pump station contract at Black Bush Polder on the Corentyne.
In a release yesterday, Mahipaul accused Mustapha of inflicting “grave financial harm upon the hardworking taxpayers of our nation” by terminating the contract for the construction of the pump station at Black Bush Polder, designed to irrigate the Black Bush frontlands.
The Opposition MP posited that terminating the contract would entail the National Drainage and Irrigation Authority (NDIA), which comes under the Ministry of Agriculture, having to pay for work already completed and also for the materials already present on the construction site at the time of this decision.
