All major projects flawed…something has to and will be done – Granger

Opposition Leader David Granger is saying that the work of former President Bharrat Jagdeo and his then government, in the signing of a “suite of flawed deals” has left the Opposition with a tedious task.
Granger, during an interview, said that his party, A Partnership for National Unity (APNU), now has to review “all those flawed projects” in an effort to ensure that the coming Guyanese generation can still be chanced a bright future.
The politician noted that the suite of flawed projects includes the Amaila Falls Hydroelectric project, the Skeldon Sugar Factory, the Marriott Hotel, the One Laptop Per Family (OLPF) programme, the e-Governance fibre optic cable and the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) expansion.

According to the Opposition leader, these projects are terribly flawed by the absence of best practices and good governance.
Granger told Kaieteur News that “all these projects are big, glamorous, alluring projects but all have flawed deals.”
He said, “APNU was not in existence when most of these deals were signed. We are now trying to go through the agreements to see how we could adjust Government policies to conform to international best practices and for them to actually make sense.”
Granger informed, “We cannot say at this point and time that we will obstruct or prevent. We first need to find out all we can. But as far as we are concerned, where it is legislatively possible; we are going to try to bring those projects back into the National Assembly so that they can be thoroughly ventilated. “
