Maybe that figure included all the money paid to Kallco under the PP for no work done on the same project.

If someone can do it properly for less. Give it to them. That is the point of competitive bidding after all.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

With this govt and any govt the people that get contracts are those who are related to ministers...food hadda eat...it is the reality of this country..

[dude2014]

Afra Raymond does talk out about these things. He is a Chartered Surveyor (Quantity Surveyor).

Cannot say that I have heard him talk out on this Project or the cost.

By de way, where Kublalsingh? He worried about the destruction of the lil swamp up in Maracas on de south side of de Car Park?

Remember he was willing to sit like Hulsie on Kamla's Highway in Debe and there was a swamp involved.

DE same area Growley visited around Divali and Fraid he foot get wet with Kaka water ..............

They think Tourism will bail us out. Tourism not Agriculture. ...

[Ben_spanna]

Fantastic... now we will have 1st world car park and restrooms for ONE beach, but still have no BEDS or medication in our General Hospital.... love the way our leaders are thinking progressively..............

[zoom rader]

^^^ That is what Redman voted for bro. He is still lucky that PNM pays him as a blogger on tuner

We goh eat the tourists

[pugboy]

I ain't go lie, contractors does make up all kinda fancy terms for general work done by an excavator
And charge a pile of money.

I have a sister who used to live in north Florida in early nineties past west palm beach
Back then only up to palm beach had proper highway exit and ting
It used to amaze me how they would modify the existing highway and bush around to add on a clover leaf
Every time I would visit there would be new exits built, like it was no big deal to build

Yet we does have to make a set of contractors billionaires to do small work like build a parking lot and septic tank for some tourist bathrooms.

kinda correct. we cant compete that much on the international market for low cost produce... generally... overall.
there will be exports, but not on a scale to say 'well forex problems solved'. tourism will have to take up more of the slack. but the public servants we have now and the ministers that give them directives are not the management team innovative enough to see that future.

all rowlers and dem really do is turtle up... raise the revenue that government collects from the people and leave we to cetch.

Trinidad is not ready for tourism
Too many ill mannered citizens and bad service with attitude.

Trinis are hoggs.

[sMASH]

could market it as 'the purge: island life'

[shake d livin wake d dead]

I agree with ZR...our tourism sucks......trini people need to learn to appreciate clean surroundings on beaches etc etc....customer service at restaurants makes me continue to not buy food outside....I remember attempting to buy a subway ah day in town....this chatgine head MC want to play she talking to me like them gaza bat on the beetham...I reach up to putting all the dressings I wanted and tell she me a bothering again, yuh need to learn to talk to people...I smile and walk of and is level cuss behind the counter....lmao...I felt good

[zoom rader]

It will take trini a generation to be polite . Our current generation is a selfish, rude and hostile .
The list is too long , real trini culture is broken with little repair left. Family and moral values have long gone.

15 year old bandits shooting at cops is our new culture

We couldn't pay teachers, but hey Mr Young certainly made sure his makeup artist was paid promptly!

Teachers don't matter right, but god forbid he looks even uglier on camera!
