New Housing Scheme’s main road deteriorated within months of repairs

Nov 28, 2021 Letters

Dear Editor,

Kaieteur News – Please allow me space to highlight the plight of residents of Tuschen, New Housing Scheme, East Bank Essequibo (EBE), regarding the deplorable condition of the main access road in the scheme.
Road users, especially motorists, are frustrated by the present condition and are appealing to the authorities to look into the situation.
I should mention that it was only recently that the main road in the scheme was repaired and in a matter of months, you would be shocked to see the condition. Some parts of the road are deteriorating, especially around the area where the police outpost is located. There are huge potholes, pools of water and mud, and vehicles are forced to use other cutoff roads.
It is clearly a case of bad work done by the contractor coupled with negligence and poor oversight by the authorities. I believe that an investigation should be launched to determine what went wrong as taxpayers’ monies have been spent and they have not seen the benefits. To date, no one has offered any explanation, or anything about what cause the road to deteriorate in what manner, or of the contractor returning to fix it or continue working.
The President has spoken time and again of ensuring that there is transparency in government and the way public funds are spent and we are encouraged by the proactive attitude he has taken since assuming office.
We are, therefore, bringing this matter to his attention so that immediate action could be taken to correct the flaws in this particular project.

Yours sincerely,
Concerned residents of Tuschen, EBE
