The Public Procurement Commission (PPC) recently hired the law firm Cameron and Shepherd to write Stabroek News demanding retractions of statements contained within its editorials relating to the controversial award of the Belle Vue pump station to the unqualified company Tepui Inc.
One contention of the PPC was that its Summary of Findings on the Belle Vue pump station award was accepted by all of the PPC commissioners. Stabroek News in its editorial of 22 April 2024 headlined `The dereliction of the Public Procurement Commission’ had stated that the Summary of Findings, in which no serious recommendation was made against Tepui, was supported by a majority and not all the commissioners.
