ONE of the unexpected results of the heavy rains that we have been having recently is that we get an opportunity to observe the shoddy work now being executed at the Providence Stadium. The tarmac (parking lot) is being built at a cost in excess of G$100 million and one can clearly see the massive pond that there is as a result of bad work. Not only is the construction job bad, but it appears as if the supervising engineers from the Ministry of Public Works are very derelict in their duties. This letter is to draw this matter to the attention of the Minister concerned.
The work is not completed and there is still equipment on site so that this problem can be corrected before the contractors leave the site.
The stadium itself was built to world class standards and all other construction work at that place should be similarly built.

The Auditor-General keeps complaining every year about these matters. We have an opportunity to correct this one before he reports again.
