The Guyana Defence Force (GDF) was yesterday upbraided at a Public Accounts Committee (PAC) hearing for breaches of the procurement law in the construction of a Mess Hall at its Timehri Air Corps base.
Chairman of the committee Irfaan Ali highlighted that at least four breaches would have occurred, including the full payment to the contractor before the completion of works, the change of terms and conditions of the contract without the procurement board being notified, the failure to apply for a multi-year approval for the project, and committing the government to allocating funds with no certainty as to if they were available.
