AFC backs gov’t decision to terminate Surendra contract

The Alliance For Change says it supports the Government’s decision to pull the contract for the construction of the Specialty Hospital and is ready to support efforts to recover monies already paid over to Surendra Engineering.

In a statement today, it said that Guyana cannot afford to lose this money.

“What has happened in this case points clearly to the need for a Public Procurement Commission to better regulate and oversee the award of contracts.

“It is good that the Government has finally woken up and the AFC is calling once again for this Government to become fully compliant with of our Constitution and the Laws of Guyana”, the AFC said.

The AFC had pressured government over various aspects of the Indian company’s involvement in Guyana and particularly as it relates to the Specialty Hospital.
