Agriculture Minister Zulfikar Mustapha on Wednesday announced that works had started on January 30th on the Belle Vue Pump station controversially awarded to the company, Tepui despite the fact that serious complaints have been made about its ineligibility for the task.
The Sunday Stabroek on Friday visited the West Demerara location but saw no sign of works being conducted.
Mustapha made the announcement to the Committee of Supply last week Wednesday during the consideration of estimates on the 2024 budget for the Ministry of Agriculture. This was following requests for updates by APNU+AFC MP Ganesh Mahipaul, on the delayed pump stations.
