The Public Accounts Com-mittee (PAC) of Parliament is deciding on the nominees for the Public Procurement Com-mission (PPC) and it should complete its work in another two months, as stipulated in the recent stakeholder consultation Communiqué.
But one member of the PAC says that this process means very little unless the PPC is established so that the appointed persons could fully function. The PPC is one of those commissions that have been held up for years because of wrangling between the government and the opposition.
According to member of the Alliance For Change (AFC), David Patterson MP, the revived work of the PAC was in response to the agreement reached in the National Stakeholder Consultations. In a short while the combined Opposition parties should be ready with their nominees for the PPC, he said. Those names are now being screened by the PNCR-1G, the AFC and Guyana Action Party (GAP).
