Small Business Bureau silent on alleged procurement violations

Dr. Lowell Porter

In the face of allegations of procurement breaches in the award of contracts for training programmes, Guyana’s Small Business Bureau remains mum, saying that it will eventually issue a statement on the matter.

“We will put out a statement but I can’t say when, if it will be Tuesday, Wednesday or next week,” head of the Small Business Bureau Dr. Lowell Porter told Stabroek News yesterday.

Porter was contacted last Thursday and had said then that the agency would be issuing a press statement. He said when the statement is completed it would have to be approved.
