Dear Editor,
The Public Procurement Commission (PPC) states on its website, “The Commission strives at all times to maintain the highest standards of conduct and professionalism.” It also lists “impartiality” as one of its seven core values. It was therefore perplexing to see Diana Rajkumar, a member of the PPC, publicly campaigning on behalf of Nigel Hughes, who is contesting for the leadership of the Alliance For Change (AFC).
Rajkumar was photographed alongside several others in a post on Nigel Hughes’ Facebook page, captioned “Bottom House Campaign. Union Village No 30, West Coast Berbice.”
Given this development and Rajkumar’s politically partisan stance, she should do the honourable thing and resign from the PPC. Her continued presence there casts a shadow over the operations of the PPC, bringing into question its ability to undertake its mandate free from political bias.
Yours truly,
Brian Azore
