The Minister within the Ministry of Public Works, Madanlall Ramraj, orders an immediate review of the Hague Back Road Project after residents of the West Coast Demerara area report continued delays by the contractor. The move is framed as a response to “serious complaints” and a determination of the project’s way forward.

Both outlets describe the review as an assessment intended to establish next steps following the stalled construction timeline. The reported scope of work includes 660 metres of revetment and 1,000 metres of asphalted roadway. While the articles agree on the impetus for the review and the project’s stated components, they provide limited detail beyond directing attention to the contractor’s performance and the need to resolve the delay issue.
