Promised cement from Cuba fails to show
Mon May 1, 2006

Twenty thousand tonnes of cement scheduled to arrive from Cuba last week
have not yet arrived.

This was revealed by Information Minister Colin Campbell at the weekly
post Cabinet press briefing Monday afternoon.

According to the minister, it is not yet known when the shipment will
arrive.

This disclosure follows concern expressed by the Incorporated Master
Builders Association.

The association's President, Michael Archer, told RJR News that members
are disappointed with the manner in which Caribbean Cement Company is
dealing with the issue of compensation to persons affected by the recent
faulty cement problem.

He said the Cement Company has not been providing timely information on
how affected persons will be compensated.

Carib Cement's management says it is prepared to offer full
compensation, where appropriate, to persons affected by the release of
sub-standard product.
