In relation to the Ministry of Health’s Headquarters’ construction originally valued at $356.826 million, PPP/C Member of Parliament Gail Teixeira has urged a special audit of the project.
She was speaking during a recent Public Accounts Committee (PAC) sitting where the 2019 Auditor General’s report for the Health Ministry was under review.
Teixeira, also the Minister of Parliamentary Affairs and Governance, expressed concerns about potential irregularities in the procurement and construction processes, emphasizing the need for scrutiny to ascertain whether mistakes or other factors contributed to contractors being paid for incomplete work. The PAC endorsed her recommendation.
