The Ministry of Public Works on Tuesday signed 21 contracts worth $1 billion to rehabilitate 25 roads in Region Five (Mahaica-Berbice), according to the Department of Public Information (DPI).
At the signing of the contracts in the boardroom of the Regional Democratic Council building, Public Works Minister, Juan Edghill urged contractors to complete the projects by December 15.
“Guyana is a country that has turned the corner, people are no longer hoping that one day their roads will be fixed, they are seeing it being fixed and the ones who are in line to be next, they want it to be next today and not next tomorrow,” he said.
