(Kaieteur News) – The Supreme Court of Judicature has received eight bids for the construction of a new magistrates’ court in New Amsterdam, Region Six.
Bidders include Innovative Engineering Consultancy Services, Caribbean Engineering & Management Consultants LTD, Kalitech Inc., Engineering and Agricultural Consultants Inc., Sizwe Jackson Consultancy Service, RVS Structural Engineering, AI Architects, and Siebtech Construction Inc, according to the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board (NPTAB).
Government has set aside, from this year’s national budget, some $1.9 billion for the expansion and upgrade of the physical infrastructure of the courts.
At the commissioning of the Friendship Magistrates’ Court earlier this year, Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs, Mohabir Anil Nandlall, SC said the establishment of new courts is part of government’s broader investments to ensure equitable access to justice.
Quoted in a Department of Public Information (DPI) article at the time, the AG said, “The administration of justice is crucial to a civilised society…We have now exceeded the construction of magistrates’ courts where they traditionally existed. We are now at a phase where we are building magistrates’ courts in areas where they never existed before…What more can a government do to demonstrate its commitment to ensuring access to justice for all its people wherever they are located?”
Nandlall also mentioned that there are now over 50 court facilities countrywide.
