Is Mr Loknauth defending contract splitting?

Dear Editor,

I refer to the letter by Vedya Looknauth captioned “I see nothing wrong in what Ms Ramotar has done in this procurement process” (07.02.21).

He seems to be trying to justify contract splitting to bypass tender procedures, and in the same breath insinuating that the same people involved are in their positions because of their political connections. I think he has done more damage to his cause than aiding it.

Yours faithfully,
