-Minister Benn commends progress, modern facility expected to be completed by August

RESIDENTS of Region Two will soon benefit from improved access to justice and enhanced security services as the reconstruction of the Anna Regina Police Station nears completion, months ahead of schedule.
The $185.8 million project, a key investment in the country’s law enforcement infrastructure, is now expected to be completed by August, much to the satisfaction of government officials and community members.
Last Saturday, Minister of Home Affairs, Robeson Benn, along with Permanent Secretary Andre Ally, visited the project site where they met with the contractor and engineering team to assess the progress of works.
The project was awarded to Builders Hardware General Supplies and Construction with the contract valued $185,865,689 and is part of the government’s broader drive to modernise security infrastructure nationwide.

During the site visit, Minister Benn expressed his satisfaction with the quality and pace of construction, noting that the project is a critical investment in the region’s law enforcement infrastructure.
“I am very pleased with the progress being made here at Anna Regina, with the pace the project will finish in August” Minister Benn stated.
Originally scheduled for completion later this year, the police station is now expected to be finished by August, a development that has been welcomed by the Guyana Police Force and members of the local community.
The upgraded facility, once completed, will feature modern amenities and improved space for both officers and members of the public, aligning with the Ministry of Home Affairs’ commitment to enhancing safety, service delivery, and working conditions for law enforcement personnel.
Permanent Secretary Andre Ally highlighted that the rapid progress is a direct result of effective planning, diligent on-site management, and timely mobilisation of materials and labour.
Ally said that the Ministry of Home Affairs has invested 62 per cent more than the previous government and emphasised that transparency and accountability remain key pillars in the Ministry’s infrastructure development agenda.

The reconstruction of the Anna Regina Police Station is part of a broader effort by the government to strengthen security infrastructure across the country, particularly in underserved and high-growth regions like Pomeroon–Supenaam.
As the completion date draws near, residents and officers alike are eagerly anticipating the return of a fully functional, modernised station that will serve as a cornerstone for maintaining law and order in the region.
