AFC outraged at substandard road works

Apr 02, 2012 News

The Alliance For Change (AFC) is outraged at the continued sub-standard infrastructural works done throughout Guyana and is demanding that this comes to an end now.

A resident stands in a hole in the road at Enmore.

This follows observation of some road works at Enmore on the East Coast of Demerara by a team of AFC members on Thursday last.
The team, which comprised Kojo McPherson and Gerhard Ramsaroop, along with political activist Freddie Kissoon, went to Enmore to meet with the sugar workers who were summarily dismissed the previous day.
On the way there, the deplorable state of the Logwood, Enmore Bridge was photographed and a video made in an effort to get the authorities to intervene.
However, less than 24 hours later, the road over the bridge collapsed.
At Enmore too, not far from the sugar packaging plant, the hole in a $4M bridge that was highlighted in the media three weeks ago has gotten worse.
The ACF is further demanding that weight limits must be enforced so as to protect the taxpayers.
