Despite being in place for over three months now, the Public Procurement Commission (PPC) has remained silent about rising concerns about the award of contracts such as those for schools to Kares Engineering Inc and in Bamia, Linden to a firm without experience.
In recent days the PPC has placed advertisements to fill key positions but this would not prevent commissioners from publicly addressing procurement issues that have been raised as huge contracts are being awarded on a weekly basis.
The PPC is comprised of attorney, Pauline Chase (chair); Financial Analyst, Joel Bhagwandin; former High Com-missioner to Canada, Rajnarine Singh; Diana Rajcumar, former Personal Assistant to the Minister of Public Security and Berkeley Wickham, former Head of the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board.
