The life of the current Public Procurement Com-mission (PPC) expires today and despite the Constitution providing for two commissioners to be granted four-year terms to allow for transitioning, this has not happened.
PPC Chairperson Carol Corbin believes that there is still time for President David Granger to intervene and extend the tenure of the two commissioners. The Constitutions provides that, “Subject to paragraph (2), members of the Commission shall be appointed for three years and shall be eligible for re-appointment, for one other term of office, not earlier than three years after the end of their first term. (2) Of those members first appointed, two shall hold office for four years.”
Corbin believes that the framers wanted to allow for transitioning, hence the provision.
