Failed Projects: The area of Mahaica to Mahaicony, she claimed, has been receiving money for bridge repairs ceaselessly for years, yet brides never seem to be completed. A koker on the upper East Coast, crumbled one month after being built. Some of the first condemned projects were the new wharf at Charity that sunk and the sea defense built at Mon Repos that breached. Bridges along the East Coast highway, like the bridge constructed at Mandela Avenue in Georgetown, began to sink just months after being constructed, and village roads that were asphalted (First Street, Grove, EBD), began to break up into potholes.

In addition to the "stone scam" in which poor quality stones were used for construction by a Trinidadian construction company, many suspect that unskilled workers were used as skilled engineers, thus the flawed end results. Another claim asserted that while contractors employed unskilled people for many works, they submitted budgets to the government claiming wages for engineering professionals.
