Solid Waste Director, Walter Narine on Wednesday expressed dissatisfaction at being blamed by city councillors at Monday’s statutory meeting for the failure of F&H Computer Supplies & General Merchandising to procure two garbage compactors to the correct specifications.
A furore has arisen over the compactors procured under former Mayor Ubraj Narine as they cannot function at the current specifications.
During an interview with Stabroek News, Walter Narine responded to the criticisms. He stated that the procurement of the compactors was done through public tendering and the tenders were opened under the previous council and a selection made. He noted that it was a collective decision.
