Auditor General (AG) Deodat Sharma on Friday said that the Bamia Primary School project was not documented in his 2022 report due to its incompletion and once completed will be itemised in the 2023 report.
He told this newspaper that the Audit Office sent a letter to Regional Executive Officer Dwight John of Region Ten (Upper Demerara-Upper Berbice) questioning the status of the school project, which was mired in controversy.
There was no mention of the Bamia Primary School under the Ministry of Local Government, which launched the project in November 2021. Nor was it mentioned under Region Ten, which has been exercising some oversight of it though contractors for this project have missed several deadlines since 2021.
