At the Region Six Democratic Council’s (RDC’s) monthly statutory meeting on Thursday, Councillor Zamal Hoosain raised the controversial issue and said: “When projects are being administered in the region, a copy of the bill of quantities should be given to the administration. At the last procurement workshop, the Minister was told of what the Regional Administration requires. A few days ago, it is evident that the collapse of the monument base at Palmyra is a typical example of what can happen when a copy of the bill of quantities and scope of work is not with the region.
The construction of a base for the Indian Arrival Monument — a project which is estimated at $97M — is one of the most recent projects for which the Regional Administration had allegedly requested information but got nothing; and Hoosain has said the collapse of the monument base should provide enough evidence that Government should send information to the region.

"However, Guyana Times understands that the contract was given to Alternative Contracting Enterprises although the company was not the lowest bidder."

They are a bunch of shameless racist pigs.
Carefully observe how the project is being constructed:

One man working and the rest skylarking. Maybe this is an ominous sign of what is to come to our beloved nation afer it was hijacked by the devils in office.
Typical PNC system and work ethic. When Uncle Nehru tell Al Yuh "Guyana gone Fuh Channa" Al Yuh did not believe.
Look how RACIST/BIAS they are, they are building the INDIAN MONUMENT AND NOT ONE INDIAN WORKING ON THE SITE. I dont like to use racism in my argument BUT I do not know what else to call it on this occasion. If it was the other way around, there would have been the usual VIOLENT MAB at the work site!!!!!!!!!!!
How about poor, unqualified engineers....note they have to go to India to get a good one!!! Guyanese are nuts. Any physics student with a knack for building crap can build a monument.
Note, the Egyptians build pyramids hundreds of meters high and no collapse and that was 3 thousand years ago. In Mycenae, neolithic cultures built Knossos. They Chinese built a wall...the Mayans and Aztecs built massive fortresses The Inca built Machu Picchu......
Not being able to build a platform is pure nonsense. Note it was a contracting firm selected by the PPP. The present administration should have re-vetted the deal. Those people should never be given another job.

If (we had had copies of the bill of quantities and scope of work), we would have (supervised) the project,” Hoosain told the RDC meeting.
Typical PPP. Blaming the collapse on him not having a bill of quantities. What difference would that have made?
But most shameful is that only black people seemed willing to take on the job. when it comes to hard labour, the PPP is nowhere to be seen.

So you're saying it's wrong to give away contracts to friends and family?

As usual lies being peddled by the PNC apologists. The contractor Derek Wilson is not an Indian PPP operative. In fact this is what happens when Granger gives out contracts based on skin color rather than expertise and previous verifiable experience. D2 once again trying to take pnc shyte and dawb it in PPP ass.
Cumberbatch told reporters that the company will take responsibility for the mishap. He stated, “These men were working and someone made a faulty move and the thing collapsed”. He also refused to provide the name of the company but recent investigations by this publication revealed that the name of the company is Alternative Contracting Enterprise based in Mackenzie, Linden. The owner has been revealed as Derek Wilson.
Clearly skinny Derek Wilson is a pnc operative as seen in the photo.
How much of the allocated $97M has gone down the drain? How many $$$M more will be needed to complete the project? Who commissioned the monument --- Ministry of the Presidency or Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports? How about a better idea --- to grant Indian Arrival Day scholarships to bright kids to study at the fee-charging University of Guyana Berbice Campus?
