Government’s billion-dollar expenditure on the decrepit Ocean View Hotel to construct a COVID-19 hospital has attracted the scrutiny of Auditor General Deodat Sharma and a local transparency group even as the current owner Jacob Rambarran maintains silence on the terms of the controversial deal.
Sharma told Sunday Stabroek that he has already cautioned about accounting practices for the $1 billion sanatorium project at Liliendaal.
“We are watching spending for the COVID-19 emergency and this Ocean View project is of concern,” Sharma said.
