The Public Procurement Commission (PPC) has written to Opposition Member Ganesh Mahipaul seeking clarification on his request to investigate several multimillion-dollar contracts.
Mahipaul, in a letter to the PPC, dated October 9, 2023, highlighted that lack of experience on the part of the contractors had resulted in projects being significantly delayed. He also said that contracts were not being awarded to the lowest and most responsive bidder.
In response, the PPC CEO Michael Singh in a letter asked Mahipaul to clarify his statement as to what specifically he wanted investigated – the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board (NPTAB) or specific contracts.
