Trinidadian construction company, Kee-Chanona Limited has donated $1M to the Rotary Club of Demerara.
The company has partnered with local firm Nabi & Sons Ltd. to construct the Mazaruni Prisons.
The presentation was made on Saturday by its Managing Director, Mr. Thomas Chanona along with representatives from both firms. Chanona addressed the club about his company and some of what prompted their decision to expand operations to Guyana.
