Fire at the Guyana Forensic Lab--Nigel Hughes alleges cover up

From GT Mosquito
Nigel Hughes has just released the following information:

On the 17th day of March 2015 there was an electrical fire at the recently constructed 900M Guyana Forensic Laboratory. The fire which started at an electrical outlet in the office of the head of the Technical department, was so intense that it blew out the glass wall which separated the room from the rest of the floor as well as burnt all the electrical outlets on the rest of the floor.

The fire started in the socket and spread from the socket to a chair which was next to the socket. The Government was advised prior to the fire that the electrical installation and air circulation in the building was faulty and poor. The overseas consultants have repeatedly advised the Government that the air flow quality is unacceptable as it circulates and recirculates toxic air in the building.
The government to date has failed to effect any changes to the air flow operations. Staff members have been falling ill since they were allowed into the facility in July 2014. The construction of the laboratory is poor with loose tiles scattered throughout the building.

Staff members who have been relocated to another facility at Ogle have ben forbidden to speak with the press and as a consequence the matter has escaped media attention.”
