DLP Government defends decision to award West Bridge construction contracts to a foreign company

Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit is defending government’s decision to award contracts for the construction of the new West Bridge to a foreign company.
NSG Management and technical services ltd. has been contracted by the government of Dominica for the demolition of and reconstruction of the West Bridge, reconstruction of retaining walls and associated drainage works.
President of the Dominica Builders and Constructors Association and Chairman of the Joint Consultative committee on the construction sector told a press conference here Monday that the non-inclusion of persons in the local construction sector on major projects is becoming worrying.
But PM Skerrit says NSG has a track record of excellent performance.

He says further the company has also reaffirmed its commitment to engage local contractors and professionals in Dominica.
