The media recently covered two instances where contracts for public works were terminated in Mahdia. One project is for GY$87 million and being done by K&P Project Management, while the other is for GY$60.527 million and is being executed by United Contracting. Both projects involved road construction, and both are way overdue, with the timelines providing revelations on how some projects are handled and overseen in this country, and how long it takes to drop the hammer on those failing to deliver.
