PAC Chair calls on President to swear in procurement commissioners

Public Accounts Committee (PAC) Chairman, Jermaine Figueira yesterday called on President Irfaan Ali to swear in the members of  the Public Procurement Commission (PPC) who were identified months ago.

Figueira’s call comes two months after the National Assembly unanimously voted in support of the nominees put forward by the PAC. At an engagement earlier this month, President Ali responding to a question from Stabroek News said that the PPC members will “very soon” be administered their instrument to function.

Figueira, at the start of yesterday’s PAC sitting, publicly called on Ali to do what is expected of him constitutionally and swear in the nominees for the commission.
