What’s good for the goose is good for the gander

I WANT to highlight an issue which I observed on July 21, 2015 at the opening of tenders at the Regional Democratic Council in Region 5.An APNU+AFC Councillor of Region Five was at the opening of tenders, signing on all tender documents. This kind of action was very strange, and surprised all contractors and suppliers present at the opening.

Under the PPP Government, there was no political representative carrying out such activity at any time during tendering process.

According to the Procurement Act of Guyana, only members of the Regional Tender Board are allowed to verify and sign off on contractors’ bidding documents.
Contractors and suppliers are concerned about this kind of political influence at the opening of tenders. Contractors and suppliers are planning to seek legal action on this issue.

I want to remind the APNU+AFC that during the election campaign, they promised a fair and transparent process, without any political interference.

I want to call on the President of Guyana to investigate this Councillor’s (alleged) wrongdoing at the RDC.
