The Deputy Permanent Secretary (DPS) of the Ministry of Indigenous Peoples’ Affairs yesterday found herself facing intense scrutiny over a $52 million transaction for the purchase of tractors, trailers, and other such equipment, without a written agreement.
After intense questioning, DPS Sherie Feedee admitted to the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) that there was no contract in place for the agreement between the ministry and General Equipment Guyana (GenEquip) for six John Deere tractors and trailers and six ploughs and harrows.
