The opposition has not ruled out initiating legal proceedings on the controversial contract for the storage of pharmaceuticals at a Sussex Street bond, according to parliamentarian Anil Nandlall.
“[We] do not rule out the process of [a] legal challenge to the contract on the grounds that it is unlawful and in contravention of the Public Procurement Act,” Nandlall, the former Attorney-General, told Stabroek News on Sunday, while adding that the PPP/C is now waiting to hear what the review, which was ordered by President David Granger, says.
Following questioning in the National Assembly, Public Health Minister Dr George Norton has faced heavy criticism over the contract, which sees $12.5 million being paid monthly to the new rental company, identified as Linden Holdings, for the bond at Lot 29 Sussex Street, Albouystown.
