EQUALITY & FAIRNESS in Governance

[eliteauto]

a great achievement that is going unannounced is the issuance of ID cards to Guyanese citizens through the AG's office, they are even expediting the delivery prior to elections, the many Guyanese residing in box apartments on state land in Chaguanas are welcoming this initiative. I think this augers well for international relations

PRIME MINISTER Kamla Persad-Bissessar yesterday warned contractors involved in the construction of the $5.2 billion Golconda to Point Fortin highway that they would be blacklisted if found to be cheating the Government and people with sub-standard work.

http://www.newsday.co.tt/news/0,134673.html

WORKS and Infrastructure Minister Dr Suruj Rambachan has expressed satisfaction with the progress of work on the $7.5 billion Solomon Hochoy Highway Extension Project.

http://www.newsday.co.tt/business/0,197163.html

$2.3 billion over budget.

And those figures are before we had to source a loan after funds dried up, so will expect to pay interest too.

P.S. Please read and re-read before you fly off the handle like what you just did to rfari.

so it cant be a typographical error or improperly communicated information? If it had cost overruns they would have said. Can cost over-runs be calculated on an unfinished project?

Of course it can be for ongoing works

[desifemlove]

erm...project costs are monitored over time, not just at de end.... Then again, what's de cause of the overrun? Change in scope? The contractors and them sourced materials and for no fault of dey own it didn't come from overseas? Accidents?

Suruj: The PM is the best

WORKS and Infrastructure Minister Suruj Rambachan on Monday penned an open letter, listing the achievements of Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, celebrating her legacy, and comparing her conduct and actions with that of Opposition Leader Dr Keith Rowley. The following is the letter issued by Rambachan, in his capacity of Deputy Political leader of the United National Congress.


Dear Readers
Greetings and thank you for reading the following.
In 2010, the Kamla Persad Bissessar administration began the distribution of computers to children in Form 1 of Secondary Schools. Approximately 95, 000 computers have been distributed to students and teachers. When this matter first came up in Parliament it met with serious criticisms and even outright opposition from the PNM MP’s particularly former school Principal and now MP Patricia Mc Intosh. This opposition has not waned. Today every child up to Form 5 has received a computer from the PP Government. This is an interesting method for the re-distribution of the nation’s wealth and the uplifting of the vulnerable children and their families. It also says a lot about the value system of Mrs Bissessar and her government in terms of creating a more equitable society and providing opportunities for all.
While this is happening in her Government we have the unsightly spectacle of an aspiring PM Dr Keith Rowley “dry humping a child” and dismissing it as “its carnival.” What a contrast in values. That same weekend we saw the Hon PM Mrs Bissessar with her grandson visiting the temples for Maha Shivrathri.
The development and protection of the child has always been at the heart and core of the Kamla Persad Bissessar administration. Whether it is computers, the Children’s Life Fund, the Children’s Hospital, the achievement of Universal Early Childhood Education, the construction of over sixty two (completed) new early childhood education centers, the partnering with private institutions to ensure that 36,000 young children are in quality early childhood centers, our children’s safety, security and future have always been a major goal of her administration.
Lest we forget, the introduction of the baby milk grant for vulnerable mothers is another example of her love and care for children
Apart from these initiatives, the establishment of the Children’s Authority as well as the introduction of other legislation aimed at securing the well-being of our children has set apart her administration from that of the PNM. It is her administration that has established the Child Protection Task Force headed by Mrs Diana Mahabir Wyatt as well as a program for the upgrade of Community Residencies for housing children. Recently, the Youth Rally involving the churches, NGO’s and other youth and children’s organizations aimed at uplifting the children as well as increasing the nation’s sensitivity and consciousness about our children was successfully held with the coordination of Pastor Winston Mansingh and others.
Most recently, her call to the Minister of Education, and the setting up of a Cabinet Committee for a report to deal with bullying and in general violence in schools demonstrate that for her, children and their well-being is not a one off thing but it is at the heart of her desire to achieve prosperity for all (including children). The Minister of Education has ensured that 194 schools now have 16 piece pan ensembles as part of the pan in the classroom program and as well has successfully introduced a multicultural music program in schools with 46 instructors. The child is at the center of Mrs Bissessar’s vision for children are the future.
Now, how does this compare with what we saw on Carnival Tuesday in San Fernando. It asks and answers the question as to who the people will want as leader and Prime Minister for the next five years. The people of this nation still prefer a values based leader.
With the soon to be opened National Aquatic Center and the National Cycling Center and the already opened Teaching Hospital in San Fernando where 109 new Pediatric beds have been added there is no doubt as to who really has a vision for the children of this nation and who is putting that vision into action.
Just for short measure every MP/Minister of the PP Govt contributes 5% of his/her salary to the Children's life fund, the Pm contributes 10% of hers.
The Kamla Persad Bissessar Legacy has already been written in this area of national transformation.

If you plan to build a house for $1 million and after earthworks and foundation you already spend $2 million, do you need to finish the house first to know that you are over-budget?

Uml, how UNC 'save' 200mil on a project?

[UML]

maybe they were using the same value the PNM used


same way they save money with other projects like the manzanilla stretch.

many projects they have showed how they spent less or showed that they spent less than what the PNM spent.

Correct. Lemme try and break it down to basics. Navet replacement project started under the previous administration. The design consultant was 'over' by almost 200mil. How? Incorrect materials were used. Specifically, a cheaper type of pipe was used during construction. Why? Inherited pnm project, must slash the cost and save money ent?

But guess what, the soils along the pipe route are highly corrosive and for the replaced mains to last its design life, the more expensive pipe should have been used.
So the long and short of the story is that. Yes, UNC 'saved' money but that pipeline will fail in approx 10-12 years. What you think about that?

SO you saying that if the PNM did it since they PROMISED it they would have spent $200 million more than the PPG who ACHIEVED it?


where dey bury the pipe in the Sea?

How you know the soil conditions? It wasnt mentioned

We will have to see if your propaganda is true. Cause it didnt specify what "expensive" pipe and what "cheap" pipe was used in the past under the PNM and what type of pipe was used this time either.

So all that cheap and expensive talk is just pie in the sky Propaganda and Misinformation. Cause we know you eh no engineer or geologist!!

WASA lays longest pipleline in South

Looks like concrete lined ductile iron pipe UNC install in corrosive soils for their supporters in south. 10-12yrs. Is hummuch people suppose to benefit from the works? Not who eat a food benefit but benefit from a more reliable water supply?

And this is UNC greatest cost savings that they gonna take on the platform? Nah man
