Stalled Progress on Mahaica Road: Who’s Responsible?

Oct 14, 2025 Letters

Dear Editor,

It has now been almost two weeks since President Irfaan Ali personally visited the area where the Mahaica four-lane road is under construction. During that visit, the President gave clear instructions for the Guyana Power and Light (GPL) to remove the power lines obstructing the progress of the road surfacing works.

Yet, despite this direct order from the highest office in the country, not a single utility post has been removed. One must ask: if the President’s directive cannot prompt action, then whose instructions will GPL take seriously?

Just this past Saturday, I had to travel to the airport to drop off relatives. What should have been a straightforward trip turned into a five-hour traffic nightmare. The congestion caused by the stalled construction work and the indiscriminate use of the road has become unbearable and is affecting the lives of thousands of commuters daily.

This raises a serious question: What exactly is going on? Why are essential works being held up despite the President’s involvement? Is there a breakdown in communication, accountability, or simply a lack of will?

The public deserves answers and, more importantly, results. The agencies involved must act swiftly to resolve these delays and respect the urgency of the President’s directive — and the people’s right to safe, timely transportation.

Sincerely,
R. Yusuf
