Dear Editor,
In the Monday’s edition of the Kaieteur News, January 5, 2009, the Peeping Tom column stated $80 million was spent on procuring the pump at Hope.
I wish to elucidate yet again to Peeping Tom that the $80 million spent was for the procurement and installation of two hydraulically driven drainage pumps, the one at Greenfield and one at Hope. This sum covers the supply and installation of the two pumping units, inclusive of the power skids, hydraulic pump ends, discharge pipe works, protective enclosure for the pump units, associated civil works and one spare pump end – the submersible component of the pump.
NDIA will be happy to facilitate Peeping Tom to view the documents to confirm the above said and, if desired, a guided tour to these pump sites could be arranged so that he could become aware of his misinformation. Tiana Khan
Corporate Secretary
