Prime Minister Mark Phillips on Tuesday admitted that government had loaded several heavy items on the MV Barima, and said there appeared to be a “break down” in routine inspection of vessel before it left Georgetown for Port Kaituma last Saturday afternoon.
Asked whether, a part from the 87-year old vessel, whether government lost any cargo, he said the Public Works Ministry lost “some equipment, fuel, machinery” and All Terrain Vehicles (ATVs). “All those things will be itemised as part of the whole investigative process,” he said.

The PM and Edgehill should resign pronto.
