PPC claims Patterson withheld details on Akamai bid case, attempted to politicise issue

The Public Procurement Commission (PPC) yesterday fired back at former minister of Public Infrastructure David Patterson, who said the PPC’s review of the complaint by Akamai Inc against the tender process which claimed the company was found wanting, was a whitewash of the administrative review process and fell short of the standards expected from a constitutional agency

In its response, the PPC said that not only did Patterson withhold on accuracy of the issue which can be found on its website, but he attempted to politicise the matter by saying only PPP/C representatives on the commission voted on the matter when all others did except the candidate from the AFC – Patterson’s party.
