Public procurement body nominees formally accepted by PAC

The names of the five nominees to sit on the Public Procurement Commission (PPC) have been formally accepted by the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of Parliament, Chairman Jermaine Figueira has confirmed.

After much back and forth with the names and necessary protocols, they were formally accepted by the PAC on February 21.

The formal acceptance paves the way for the names to be placed on the agenda of the National Assembly. The names must receive  two-thirds approval in parliament before the commissioners can be sworn in by the President.
