Public Infrastructure Minister David Patterson yesterday visited the headquarters of the Special Organised Crime Unit (SOCU), where he was questioned about the award of the new Demerara bridge feasibility contract, which was found to have breached the procurement laws.
Sources told Stabroek News the agency’s investigation into the matter is now complete and it will be seeking legal advice.
While persons close to the minister and the investigation confirmed that Patterson visited SOCU’s Camp Street headquarters during the morning yesterday and that he answered questions, he declined to speak about the issue when approached at the Public Buildings.
