Dec 06, 2013 News

 

 

Kaieteur News in Tuesday’s edition inadvertently reported that Education officials presided over overpayments to contractors the sum of S1.5B. The figure is in fact $1.5M.
This publication reported that the payments were made for  three projects—- an Information Technology (IT) Laboratory each for the Charity and Aurora Secondary Schools and the New Wing which was attached to the Patentia Secondary School.
It was inadvertently reported that the Ministry overpaid the contractor for the Patentia Secondary School project, $885M over the two-year period. The figure is in fact, $885,000.
It was also reported that the contractor for the IT Laboratory at Charity Secondary School was overpaid $398M, while the contractor at the Aurora Secondary school was overpaid $245M.
Those figures are in fact S398,000 and $245,000 respectively.
Kaieteur News apologizes for any inconvenience caused.
