With an ongoing battle between government and the opposition over the Chairmanship delaying the work of the Public Accounts Committee, the reconstitution of the Public Procurement Commis-sion (PPC) has also been stalled.
Minister of Public Works and government representative on the PAC Juan Edghill told Stabroek News that the governing People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) wants a functioning PPC and is “pretty alarmed by the dysfunctionality” of the committee, which is responsible for selecting the commissioners.
He admitted that this has halted the process of getting the commission in place.
