While the Region Three officials are still mum on the cost of the health clinic at Versailles, West Bank Demerara, another unused health centre has been found, but this time in Tuschen Housing Scheme, East Bank Essequibo.
While residents in the area told this newspaper that the health centre was constructed some three years ago and has never been used, Chairman of the Regional Democratic Council (RDC), Julius Faerber shares a rather different view.
When contacted by this newspaper yesterday, Faerber said the construction of the health center was only completed last year. He explained that the centre has not been in use because the windows are not grilled.
As such, the health authorities were not too keen in placing their medical equipment in the facility; for fear that it might have been stolen.
“When the facility was built, the grilling of the windows was not taken into consideration and it was only after it was completed that the health authorities raised their concerns with us,” Faerber said.
However, he explained that a contract was awarded two weeks ago for the grilling of the windows. This work, he said, should have already commenced, but when Kaieteur News visited the facility yesterday, there was no indication that any such works has commenced.
Faerber could not say to whom the contract was awarded and how much it would cost the region to grill the windows. This information he promised to provide at a later date.
Meanwhile, as it relates to the health clinic at Versailles, Faerber said that he is still awaiting the information from the engineer on the materials used to construct a bridge at Meten-Meer-Zorg, West Coast Demerara.
This information was promised to Kaieteur News by Faerber since Monday.
