No tendering for Daren Sammy Cricket Ground renovation results in $3 Million in cost overruns. Minister gives the job to his Uncle

A few weeks ago, Minister for Sports Kenson Casimir announced that instead of the $2 Million which was budgeted for renovation works at the stadium, the total cost would more than likely be around $5 Million. A whopping $3 Million more than anticipated!

What Minister Casimir didn’t say in the interview however is that the contract had been awarded to a contractor who is his uncle. Not only was this multi million dollar contract given to his uncle, but it was given without going through the tendering process.

Nepotism, Corruption and disregard for the rule of law are becoming the hallmark of this SLP administration.
