When will this GPL contract be made a reality?

Nov 04, 2016 Letters

Dear Editor,
Questions to the IDB and GPL. The award of the contract for GPL’s Power Utility Upgrade Program was promised to be awarded by the end of October by both the management of GPL and IDB. This now marks another missed deadline for the award. Can someone please shed some light on why this is so? The recent swearing in of the Public Procurement Commission one thought would have offered some hope in transparency and efficiency. Is this now another group of useless bureaucrats? This Power Utility Upgrade Program was touted to bring much relief to GPL’s aging infrastructure by reducing line losses thus saving billions annually. The Government of Suriname is embarking on a similar project; I bet this will be implemented and completed before ours. Here is to hoping someone keeps their word and we move on with this project or some sort of announcement on a future date and not another extension of the evaluation.
