90 million to refurbish Brian Lara Stadium

[matix]

I wouldn't doubt that. That's why we as citizens need to stand up against tutu like that. I did that with some work and man was I wrong. They victimize you so swiftly.

[RASC]

We did stand up.
They won't be seeing office for the next half generation or so!

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

LAst UNC contractor in elsocorro came and build a Pavement directly on top of GRASS, not even removing the grass, no foundation , no nutthen, just boxed poured and next day pulled off boxing and then collected a few million!

And why none of these people are being charged? is what I want to know!!!

It have a box drain here a unc contractor put down, you know they didn't full the concrete blocks with cement or anything? and even worse they put to little cement in the sand so when the drain full with water the blocks falling off with the current from the water

The current government is in the process of auditing these State enterprises where there are allegations of corruption and poor quality work (EFCL, HDC, NIDCO, et. al.) occurring under the past government.

From what I understand, they are uncovering clear evidence of corruption. So let us see whether the findings of the audits will be made public and people held accountable.

I really hope that the current government takes legal action against those who were clearly involved in wrongdoing, as opposed to keeping this information to use against the opposition when they, the PNM, wants to get something passed in parliament.

How much it gonna cost to get the hospital up and running, compared to the stadium.

We already rent so many facilities for Government businesses, we could rent out the qps or any other grounds, WE ALREADY HAVE to do our sports diversification.

I don't know if u all aware, but at San'do hospital they treat you while you wait in the corridor for a bed. Sometimes 24 hours can meet you right where u started. From what I've seen for visiting hours, there's is no vacancy.


We already have places to play and film cricket, let us spend 90mil+ assumed cost over run, on a hospital.



If they so want to rehabilitate sumting, they have sumting to start in already

Lol.

Lol.

The opening of the Couva Hospital is not dependant on funds but on specialised staff.

To the UNC's credit the expansion of the Sando Hospital more or less solved overcrowding on the wards. Even when there a ward is full they but you on another ward far away and the doctors still include you on their ward rounds. So I don't know where you have recently seen overcrowding at Sando Hospital.

Yeah like the shiddy roads that underqualified contractors overcharged for...with no oversite cuz elections coming ...dont study it.

[desifemlove]

if PNM want to do a stadium, update Hasely Crawford to FIFA standards.

Attract top teams to have friendlies, even host tournaments like U-21 or U-17. since football is more popular in viewership and participation makes more sense.

And what is being revealed below is a solid old pitch road from PNM era. Is it that things are just being done horribly by contractors now or PNM was more strict with quality of work done by contractors?

The PNM used to just steal 1/3 of the money. The UNC increase that to 2/3. Serious talk.

uhhh no.

The ballah report ...read into Parliament in 1982 by George Chambers estimated that the original PNM stole/'wasted' 66% of the PetroDollars.

Same proportion as the airport.

Allyuh fight up and believe there is a difference.

Not in my observations. Had a few family members got sick last year and that was the stories.

a suggestion i had was to take the land in from the hospital and make it into a multilevel parkade, just like PoS. You would have ample parking for hospital visitors, water taxi commuters, and San'do in general. This way, u can develop the water taxi service further, curbing the need to go the rapid tram route.
A penny saved is a penny earned?

Great idea, it is already part of the San Fernando Waterfront plan.

But before we embark on new mega projects, how about we finish the badly financed, over budget, over time, unfinished ones first.

[sMASH]

I don't see the return on investment as being COMPARATIVELY worthwhile. To me, developing the waterfront more tangible, more certain, and is a stepping stone to further development.
The stadium merely relies on the chance that it attracts games, and the chance those games generate revenue. Given that we already have facilities to perform the same function with less additional input, I don't see enough justification to off load so much cash.

Rowley did say to tighten belts.

I eh talking about stuff that happen 33 years ago you know. You could argue about that.

I talking about a project in May 2010 costing 50 million under the PNM jumping to 150 million under the PP by September 2010. And that is with the cost of labour and material falling. .

So yeah I go repeat for those that dont want to hear. Manning's PNM was talking about a third. Kamla's PP was talking more than two thirds.

One third. Two thirds. Whatever. They are all a bunch of thieves and one is no better than the other.

And yet I guarantee , that if you had a choice about how much you will get robbed by, you will choose the lesser amount.

Hopefully this resolves everything.

Right now how much to t'ief being tendered out. The actual t'iefing will begin at years end, when hastily formed PNM companies will be registered. After all is WTN!
