Guyana: Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo has received complaints about ‘delinquent’ cement suppliers, stating that the government will sanction any errant supplier, reports News Room Guyana.

Contractors engaged in road works along the East Bank of Demerara complained of challenges with cement suppliers. These suppliers were reportedly providing smaller quantities of cement and cement with lower-than-needed compressive strength.

The vice president noted that the Ministry of Public Works has been engaged on the matter and will issue a warning to suppliers soon, stating that, if the claims were true, the suppliers would lose the right to supply cement for government projects.
