A Tour Of The D'urban Park Development Project - Part1- The Art Of Slapdash

Описание: I woke up on Easter Sunday and took a trip down to the D'urban Park Development Project to cast my untrained eye over the works in progress. In no uncertain terms one does not have to be a wood expert to see the work presented here is of low quality, with much evidence of poor workmanship. Real Guyana does not lay claim to the absolute truth but this video's intent is to open debate and rebuttal of the points raised is invited. With a Stadium already built by the PPP and other public grounds in existence, badly in need of attention, is it not possible to split celebrations between existing facilities for the 50th anniversary considering the limited timeline and the cost of building the same thing twice?
Whatever the structural properties of the wood may be, or its ability to hear load even with cracks and defects do we not owe it to ourselves to both demand and produce work of the highest possible quality after 50 years of self determination? No matter how temporary these stands are purported to be I invite you to acknowledge these trees have been permanently cut down and the money, fuel and time necessary to procure them are all permanent investments. Why are we building a temporary stadium worth millions of dollars only to pay more money to pull it down again, re-purpose the wood and put up an even more expensive structure (after the big event is done)? When we see pictures of a mother and newborn child sleeping under a hospital bed surface concurrent with the project how are we to feel? Even as the youth the new administration promised to champion, continue to cry out at the University for the most basic facilities we find ourselves watching millions of dollars wasted before our eyes. Having personally reviewed the quality of work on many of the projects under the PPP, I felt a deep sense of disappointment surveying these works because it felt like nothing has changed. The same problems remain unaddressed in the background as successive rounds of politicians seek to out-compete each other with grand projects that benefit the people funding them very little. Did you benefit from the erection of the Marriott? None of us benefited from an overgrown D'urban park and any move to transform it should be commended, yet I question the notion of 'temporarily' spending millions of dollars there is no way to recover. When our politicians on both sides of the divide spend our taxes on themselves, it is to procure goods of the highest quality. Why then are we the public expected to celebrate slapdash work foisted upon us. Make no mistake, I am in full support of developing this site but firmly believe more could be done to serve local residents with less and against the backdrop of both our economy and shoddy public infrastructure left in place by the last administration, this project and the monies expended on constructing these 'temporary' stands is downright wasteful.
Stay tuned for part two where I revisit the site on completion and track it going forward as with other projects. Well done to the Coalition on the clean-up of Georgetown, however, having campaigned on the promise of change and rewarded themselves a salary increase with the promise of quality, I just can't help thinking this cannot be it. In closing perhaps you can help me solve a riddle. I was told by both workers on site and a bona fide wood expert on Facebook that the wood on site is Greenheart. Greenheart is naturally resistant to insect attack. How then do we account for the wood that looks like it has been attacked, by insects? This kind of temporary, is like buying a Porsche temporarily just before investing in a Ferrari. Can the second poorest country in the region really afford it? If we can, why are mothers sleeping under hospital beds? Over to you.
