PORT MOURANT,Cheap Jerseys China, CORENTYNE – Port Mourant Market vendors are frustrated with the present state of affairs. The facility is being reconstructed and hucksters must now ply their trade along the road’s shoulder.

So far, 90 percent of the job is completed but he does not believe that the present contractor can finish the job by then.According to the Regional Chairman,Anders Nilsson Jersey, he wants the projects to be completed as soon as possible but he is frustrated with the many promises made to have the job done by a certain time.Then, when the physical structure is finished, vendors must construct their own stalls which would also take some time and would push back the opening date.The Regional Chairman said that the first $98 million contract was awarded to Hassan N. Pasha of Chateau Margot on the East Coast of Demerara early 2009. Initial work began on February 15th, 2009 and was expected to run for nine months – November 15th. The initial job was for the construction of a modern market approximately 15,000 square feet with appropriate sections. New features should consist of an office and permanent market staff along with other amenities.However, work halted sometime in August 2009, allegedly after payment problems and the contract went back to the Tender Board after consultation with representatives of the Caribbean Development Bank.The Regional Chairman indicated that late last year,Wholesale Jerseys China, a new contractor, Sattaur of Essequibo, had signed an agreement with the Basic Needs Trust Fund to complete the venture. Under his guidance, work recommenced in mid-December 2009.According to the Chairman, Contractor Sattaur was expected to finish the $36 million project by the end of January 2010, but that did not happen. Mustapha said that the scope of work is to complete the tarmac,Alexander Nylander Jersey, washroom facilities and fencing.Anjanie Mohabir is pleased with the job done so far by the new contractor.“The first contractor nah do the wuk properly. This new contractor ah do the wuk faster,”Harrynarine Boodram is also in favour of the new contractor, but he feels that the Regional Administration is treating them badly by giving them empty promises.“Since we out here, nobody (Regional Officials) ever come back. They bring we out in the sun and rain and never look back.”The Regional Administration is also hoping to enclose some stalls,China Jerseys Free Shipping, especially those in the haberdashery section. The hucksters are expected to shoulder the responsibility of building their own compartments based on the specifications supplied by the Regional Democratic Council.The Regional Chairman said the present design caters for 750 stalls, while the old one had 450. The Administration is exploring the possibility of acquiring 300 more.The old Port Mourant Market could no longer cater for the amount of vendors plying their trade, especially on Saturday, the biggest day, and many vended their wares on both sides of the Corentyne Highway in the vicinity of the facility. This resulted then and still does in traffic congestion each Saturday.Persons come from all parts of Guyana – including the East Coast of Demerara, East Bank of Essequibo and the Upper Corentyne and the East Bank of Berbice on Saturdays to sell their produce at what the Chairman said is one of the largest open air markets in Guyana.According to Mr. Mustapha, the previous facility was some 20 years old and had deteriorated.
