The Dangriga Market, it's one of the most famous and flagrant misadventures in public spending that we've ever reported on - and now the long delayed market project is getting a second start.
A new contract was signed on March 24th, and the good news for Dangriga resident tonight is that the contractor CB Construction from Cayo has pledged to complete it within 6 months.
The contract is for 1.22 million Belize dollars and it was signed after SIF got the green light from the World Bank and the Contractor General.
As has been widely reported, the previous contractor Kennard Smart said he could not complete the project because he was being squeezed by SIF employees. That led to a major shake-up and mass firings from the institution - and a stalling in the half completed project.
Ground was first broken in May of 2012 for a 1.4 million dollar project which should have finished in March of 2013. WE just finished March of 2014, and it's far from completion.
