Opposition Leader Azruddin Mohamed on Sunday delivered a blistering critique of the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) government, using the US$161 million Linden to Soesdyke Highway rehabilitation to argue that corruption, inflated contracts, and weak oversight have become systemic.

Speaking while travelling along the corridor, Mohamed said the project reflects deeper governance failures.

“This is what corruption looks like under the PPP,” he declared. “Today, I am travelling on the delayed and grossly overpriced US$161 million Linden to Soesdyke Highway project. What stands out is not progress, but serious concerns about cost, transparency, safety, and ultimately—who is truly benefiting.”
