“It interferes with the work that is being done… and I constantly receive calls from residents requesting I allow the ferry to go to Leguan to move to produce”, Sharma had said. He also lamented that the contractors cannot work with the ferry mooring at the stelling. He related that it had put a strain on the contractors and contributed to the failure in meeting the project deadline. In January this year, the former Minister within the Ministry of Infrastructure, Jaipaul Sharma, had told Kaieteur News that the residents, mainly those within the business community and farmers, had been requesting extensions on the project to facilitate their goods and services and movements of their produce. It was stated that the delay was a result of additional works needed along with the initial engineer’s estimate and quantities being deficient. The project was expected to be completed within six months. However, the estimated costs later changed to $580M. Minister Edghill said that the project has seen poor administration.
This was after the ministers carried out a visit to Leguan on Friday to address matters at the island and assess the ongoing works at the stelling which has been dragging on. Assessments being conducted at the Leguan Stelling
