APNU+AFC MP, David Patterson on Monday grilled Minister of Parliamentary Affairs and Governance, Gail Teixeira on whether the public was getting value for money from expenditure on the Public Procurement Commission (PPC) which he has frequently accused of not doing its work.
The start of the consideration of estates for the 2024 budget saw a back-and-forth between Patterson and Teixeira with regard to the PPC’s current expenditure.
When given the chance after the Committee of Supply had been convened, Patterson raised concerns over the PPC’s budget allocation, noting a substantial increase. Patterson’s inquiry focused on the number of reports completed and published by the PPC since its re-establishment in 2022.
