APNU+AFC Member of Parliament David Patterson yesterday said that the procurement commission has not responded to the opposition’s request for an urgent meeting to discuss the controversial award of a pump station contract to a company that did not qualify and other matters.
He told the Sunday Stabroek that the Parliamentary opposition on Thursday wrote a letter seeking an urgent meeting with the Public Procurement Commission (PPC) for an update on its activities since the organization’s re-establishment in July 2022. The PPC has been blistered for wasting time while complaints have been lodged with it.
In the letter seen by the Sunday Stabroek, the opposition while noting its support of public trust and confidence in the work of the Commission, saw the request for a meeting as an opportunity to enhance a collective approach to public procurement matters.
