Although the PPP/C has committed to meeting the 90-day deadline for the appointment of members of the Public Procurement Commission (PPC) the PNCR-1G is not so sure that the stakeholder-set deadline will be met since the former hasn’t yet submitted names for the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) to ponder.
This is according to former Chairman of the PAC Winston Murray who believes that the PPP/C is holding the process up.
The deadline for the fulfillment of a number of commitments will come on June 8, ninety days after the multi-stakeholder consultations held on March 12, following the Lusignan and Bartica killings.
Contacted last week for a comment, PPP/C member of the PAC Komal Chand said that he didn’t want to comment on the issue at this time. Chand is the point man on the Government’s side looking at the PPP/C appointees.
