The Ministry of Public Works has not been issuing contracts in a discriminatory manner as is being alleged by A Partnership for National Unity (APNU), according to Minister Juan Edghill.
“APNU seek to create in the minds that [PPP/C] have some kind of discrimination when awarding contracts…. It is rubbish and must be debunked,” Edghill stated in a video yesterday on Facebook. He noted that when there are more than a thousand road work contracts being executed simultaneously the ministry has to engage at least several hundred contractors and if it were the case that contracts were awarded to the PPP/C’s family and friends, then the PPP/C family is quite large.
