The Alliance For Change (AFC) says that the commissioner it nominated to the Public Procurement Commission (PPC) gave sound reasons for disagreeing with a PPC decision rejecting a complaint by Akamai Inc over the handling of its bid for the purchase of line equipment.
In a release on Friday, the AFC took aim at Joel Bhagwandin, the government-nominated Commissioner PPC who, it said, has sought to “personally attack and discredit” AFC-nominated Commissioner Dianna Rajcumar for her dissenting position on the Akamai’s Summary of Findings in which she asked that the complainant be engaged in the investigation process.
Bhagwandin’s criticism was contained in a letter titled `The AFC is attempting to direct the Procurement Commission on how to conduct an investigation’ in the January 11, 2024 edition of Stabroek News.
