Cabinet Secretary Dr Roger Luncheon on Thursday said Cabinet had cleared two contracts in the health and public works sectors, including one valued over $1B for the procurement of medical supplies.
According to the Government Information Agency (GINA), Dr Luncheon advised that Cabinet, at its Tuesday, May 29, statutory meeting, offered no objections to a contract valued $1.3B for the procurement of drugs and medical supplies for the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation. In the public works sector, a contract valued $832.8M for the construction of the Amaila Falls access road – section seven also received a no-objection.
Meanwhile, Luncheon clarified a statement he made at his Wednesday, May 23 press briefing, where he had said that Cabinet had given the go-ahead for the award of US$132,000 for the acquisition of 53 bulls for the agriculture ministry’s Agriculture Export Diversification Programme. However, the number of bulls is actually 33.
