More than two weeks after it vowed a thorough probe of a controversial pump station contract, the PPC remains silent on the way forward and MP David Patterson is mulling legal action as the next step.
For months, he has been pressing the Public Procurement Commission (PPC) due to its inaction on the controversial award of the $865 million Belle Vue pump station contract to the Tepui Group, which does not meet the standard evaluation criteria for bidders.
The Member of Parliament told the Sunday Stabroek that he is at his wits end, as the PPC has been evading the subject for weeks. He said he will consult with his attorney on taking legal action against the commission for dereliction of responsibilities and inaction concerning this matter of public interest.
