Nov 26, 2025 News

(Kaieteur News) – The community of Letter Kenny in Corentyne, Berbice, Region Six will soon benefit from a $979, 965, 367 pump station.

The Ministry of Agriculture has asked contractors have been asked to submit bids for the project which are scheduled to be opened on December 19, 2025 at the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board (NPTAB) office.

Pump stations play a crucial role in communities by providing residents and farmers with effective drainage systems, especially during heavy rainy periods.

It was reported that areas like Letter Kenny and Whim are prone to flooding. Minister of Agriculture, Zulfikar Mustapha during one of his outreaches in Region Six last year informed residents that the region will see three ‘Hope-like canals’ being constructed. One will be built between the Number 51-52 villages, one in the Bengal Village, and the other between the Whim and Letter Kenny areas. These canals are to be equipped with pump stations.

During the presentation of this year’s budget, it was revealed that in 2024, works progressed on eight additional pump stations. In 2024, the government expended $44.3 billion, and in 2025, $73.2 billion has been allocated to complete pump stations and advance other critical drainage and irrigation canals and structures including areas such as Adams Creek, Canefield, Good Hope and Mabaruma.
