The country’s first Family Court is expected to be ready by Tuesday with workers now putting on the finishing touches.
The construction manager, according to a government statement yesterday, disclosed that the building is 98 percent complete and is expected to be finished by next Tuesday.
P. D. Contracting Company, the firm which was tasked with the completion of the Guyana National Stadium, Providence, was given the contract, while design and supervisory consultation is being provided by E&A Consultants.
The manager explained that they have included disability ramps as part of the layout.
Cabinet granted its approval to the project which is being monitored and supervised by representatives of the Public Works and Human Services Ministries.
Minister of Human Services and Social Security, Priya Manickchand, has said the initiative of a Family Court was prompted by the awareness that the family unit is severely affected by societal demoralisation.
The new facility will handle issues such as divorce, division of property, domestic matters, adoption, guardianship and custody.
In early 2009, Cabinet granted a two-fold approval to establish the court and erect a structure in which the entity would be housed.
“This means that the process of compartmentalising family law should begin even before the completion of the building and indicates the significance placed on judicial preparedness in family welfare matters,” the Minister had stated.
The new, two-storey building, has replicated the architectural style of the Supreme Court, its adjoining mediation centre and library.
