Five persons to serve on the long-awaited Public Procurement Commission (PPC) have been selected and a report from the body responsible for the shortlisting, the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) will be presented to the National Assembly at next week Thursday’s sitting, sources say.
Stabroek News was told yesterday by persons close to the PAC that consensus has been reached by the governing APNU+AFC and the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) on the five-member committee and their respective functions. This is crucial as the five persons will require the approval of two-thirds of Parliament.
Efforts to contact Chairman of the Committee, Irfaan Ali for comment were futile and PPP/C executive and PAC member Juan Edghill would only confirm that a report will be submitted on August 4th.
