Edghill, Minister of Public Works; who was accompanied by Hon. Deodat Indar, Minister within the Ministry of Public Works; and Mr. Tarachand Balgobin from the Ministry of Finance.
This courtesy visit stemmed on the premise to advance discussions on projects under the purview of the Ministry of Public Works that are being financed by the High Commission of India.
Amongst some of the fundamental projects discussed were; the Indian ferry vessel, the East Bank- East Coast Bypass Road, pumps, solar household panels for hubs in the hinterland regions.
Hon. Bishop Juan A. Edghill continues to be appreciative of the engagement of the Government and People of India through the High Commission in Guyana especially as it relates to the outlined projects above, many of which, has been delayed by more than five years due to the inability of the APNU/AFC to give clear policy directions and to resolve issues.
