Dear Editor,
Please permit me to illuminate a disturbing trend in Guyana. Guyanese citizens are not bidding for many of the contracts, which are up for bidding. Just yesterday, it was announced that the contract to widen / upgrade the ECD road was awarded to Chinese companies because … they were the ONLY bidders for the contract. This behaviour vastly contradicts the pronouncements of some Members of the opposition. They regularly accuse the PPP of only awarding contracts to their friends and supporters. Imagine, if they had only directed their energy and resources to actually bidding and securing these valuable contracts to provide jobs, income, self-worth and independence for their supporters!
Sincerely,
Chitrakha Persaud
