Public Accounts Committee (PAC) Chairman Jermaine Figueira says the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board (NPTAB) should provide answers on the award of the Bamia school contract to St8ment Investment Inc, a company with no construction experience.
Figueira, during a break at the PAC sitting yesterday at the Public Buildings on Brickdam, spoke on the matter.
He said that “…the Company has not been registered for more than six months so one begs to question whether they are in breach of the Public Procurement Act. I want to know what the national tender board’s position on that is… The contractor in this regard, who would have won that contract has no known public knowledge with respect to having a contract of that magnitude to construct any building of that magnitude…”
