…as state-of-the-art landfill is slated for opening
Minister of Local Government Kellawan Lall has again issued a promise to the nation that the over-inflated Mandela Avenue dumpsite will close this year as some $651M was approved in the national Budget for the completion of a state-of-the-art dumpsite at Haags Bosch aback of the Eccles Industrial Site.
Lall, who was responding to queries in the House by the Opposition on the various allocations to that Ministry, promised that the Mandela Avenue dumpsite will be closed forever in 2010.
The Haag Bosch site is expected to be equipped with all basic infrastructure, including an all-weather access road, buildings for weighbridge, reception and administration, workshop, energy and water supply and wheel-washing facilities.
In the interim, a temporary holding site has been established at Lusignan, East Coast Demerara.
Some $12.7M was allocated in this year’s budget for the maintenance of this dumpsite, and the contract for that dumpsite has been allocated to Puran Brothers.
The Mandela Avenue dumpsite for many years has been slated for closure, and has also been a constant source of inconvenience as fires often break out, smothering the nearby locality in plumes of smoke.
THIS IDIOT TELLING GUYANA WE HAVE NO SAY IN THE 50% PROFIT SHARING AGREEMENT WE HAVE WITH EXXON.
