A total of 57 contracts were noted by a Cabinet sub-committee on December 30 last year as the government continued to pursue major projects notwithstanding its caretaker status.
Based on the documents seen by Stabroek News a large number of the contracts noted by the Cabinet subcommittee could be deemed as pressing while there were some that were not pressing.
On January 10 this year, Stabroek News had reported on 31 of the contracts plus another 23 by the subcommittee on December 23rd. The Ministry of the Presidency did not release a list of these contracts as is customary.
