Eight motorcycles were purchased, through the Ministry of Public Works, for the Guyana Police Force to strengthen its traffic capability.
The Works Services Group (WSG), a department that falls under the purview of the Ministry, reportedly paid $14.8M for the motorcycles and their spare parts.
According to Geoffrey Vaughn, Coordinator of WSG, the procurement is part of his department’s Road Safety/Traffic/Maintenance Department which “is tasked with utilising some of its international funding to plan, implement and execute various projects, which are aimed at addressing safety issues on our road network, including the safety and monitoring of our roadways.”
Minister Robeson Benn will hand over the motorcycles to the police by the end of the month.
The finance for the motorcycles was made possible through a loan from the Inter-American Development Bank.
The Ministry made it clear that it had provided motorcycles and other devices to the police on previous occasions.
