The Police/court building has been mired in controversy since work on it began in December 2007.

In March last year, Government said the project, which had risen by $3 million to $78 million, would be ready by September 2010 but by October Government announced a management shake-up because it was months behind.

This paper later revealed that contractors Landmark Lisgar Construction Ltd. had not been the choice of Government's technical officers.

In November Government hired project supervisor Eddy Henri at a further cost of $400,000. At that same time, Mr. Burgess revealed the building was without a performance bond, something similar to insurance which can be called if a project fails.

It also later emerged that Winters Burgess, site manager for Pro-Active on the notorious Berkeley school project which was three years late and $55 million over budget, is involved in Landmark Lisgar.

And Works and Engineering Minister Derrick Burgess confessed in a TV interview with ZBM, that Winters Burgess was both his close friend and relative.

Last month The Royal Gazette revealed that Lisgar, the Canadian partners in the project, had left after being given a hefty settlement.

Government branded the story as "false in almost every material aspect" but failed to respond to most of the allegations.

Within days Government confirmed that Lisgar had left the job but would not say why.
