The Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) is yet to start making payments to its Government which in turn would make repayments to the Chinese, for the loans which financed the Skeldon Sugar Factory.
This was confirmed by the entity’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Paul Bhim, who was responding to queries as it relates to recourse available from the Chinese Firm, in light of the numerous defects still plaguing the multi-million dollar edifice.
According to Bhim there is no warranty for the factory and that the “defects notification period” has already expired a long time ago.
It was during this time that identified defects would have fallen under the responsibility of the Chinese Firm.
Bhim assures that all of the defects identified by the Chinese during that period would have been resolved by them and the new defects developed subsequently, hence the South African Engineering firm being paid to remedy the situation.
He reminded of Booker Tate which had been contracted to manage the factory and said it was they were the ones that signed off on the works that were being undertaken at that time by the Chinese Contractor.
At present Bhim confirms that there are still three Chinese Nationals attached to the factory mainly in the capacity of training for the local counterparts.
This tenure he said will come to an end next month.
