It is now up to President Irfaan Ali to determine when the Natural Resource Fund Board will be established and new Public Procurement Commission commissioners sworn in as the National Assembly last Wednesday cleared the names for both bodies.
On the NRF Board, Ali had said that as soon as he receives the names of the other two nominees – one from Parliament and one from the Private Sector – he will name his three members to make up the five-member Board.
For the constitutional body – the PPC – which re-quires a 2/3 majority to be approved, some 60 of the 65 member House voted in favour, as Public Accounts Committee Chairman Jermaine Figueira told the House that the five names had the approval of both sides of the house.
