The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of Parliament has received 29 nominations for membership on the five-member Public Procurement Commission (PPC).
Speaking with Stabroek News on Thursday, Chairman of the PAC Irfaan Ali explained that a sub-committee comprising himself and Minister of Social Protection Volda Lawrence is presently attempting to shortlist 12 of these nominees for presentation to the full PAC for review.
“We are currently reviewing the nominees. We want to make sure we go through the process and identify the best candidates in line with the provisions of the act and what was outlined in the TOR (Terms of Reference) for expressions of interest,” Ali said. He added that the process should be concluded by the end of June.
