The Public Procurement Commission (PPC) has responded to an article in the December 4 issue of the Kaieteur News under the caption “Employment costs for Public Procurement Commission up by $115M – 2023 Annual Report,” which the Commission states was grossly misrepresented and deserved to be corrected.
Making it clear that it had no issue with media scrutiny, the PPC lamented the fact that the reporter/journalist failed to acquire any explanation or clarification resulting in a report that was fundamentally inaccurate, hence, it wished to provide the missing context and explanation for the reported large variance of $115 million obtained in 2023 relative to the previous year, 2022.
