Former Public Works Minister David Patterson yesterday said that the Public Procurement Commission (PPC) has said that it has launched a probe into the contentious $865 million Belle Vue, West Bank Demerara, pump station contract awarded to the Tepui Group.
The APNU+AFC MP told Stabroek News that this response came from the commission’s acting Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Mervyn Chung amid concerns raised over the issuance of the contract.
According to Patterson, the ball is now in the court of the PPC, as accountability must take its course.
