Gov’t to terminate contract for ‘abandoned’ Dennis Street project – Edghill

Part of the project in December of last year

Fed up with the disregard for contract extensions given and apparent abandonment of the project, the government is preparing to terminate the contract with Trinidad and Tobago-based contractor Kallco Guyana Inc for the Conversation Tree to Dennis Street road project.

“It is clear they cannot do the work. They have abandoned the project… no one is there and there has been no word from the company… We are engaging with a view to termination,” Minister of Public Works Juan Edghill told the Stabroek News yesterday.

He said that last year the company’s principals had come to Guyana and promised that the work would be completed but his engineers have informed him that no one is currently on site and they seem to have abandoned the project.
