Dear Editor;
The Ministry of Communities in an effort to bring relief to residents of Eccles and neighbouring communities has been, over the past several months, working to ensure that the Haags Bosch Landfill facility be transformed into a site which complies with international and environmental standards.
Due to this effort, a contract was signed on July 14, 2016 between the Ministry of Communities and Puran Brothers Disposal Inc. with the aim of enhancing the aesthetics and implementing regulations that are in accordance with the relevant health standards.
The Ministry remains committed to ensuring that new measures are implemented to guarantee the effective management of waste. As such a contention made by Cevons Waste Management that a recent decision to award the contract for the management of the Haags Bosch Landfill site to Puran Brothers Disposal Inc. was unfair and biased is without merit.
The allegations were contained in a Stabroek News article on Sunday July 17, 2016 and claimed among other assertions that the process of selection was by unfair means.
However, the Ministry of Communities wishes to assure the public that claims by Cevons that the company was sidelined are inaccurate and reiterates that the tender process was based on the stipulated criteria as outlined in the Procurement Act.
