PHILIPSBURG:--- The Minister of VROMI Egbert Jurendy Doran confirmed on Wednesday that the Ministry has sought the assistance of SOAB to finalize the trench cleaning bidding process.
Asked if the bidding process was finalized the Minister confirmed in the affirmative, however, he said contracts were not awarded to any of the selected contractors.
He said SOAB was asked to review the bidding process because of internal concerns that were brought to his attention, even though the advice did not reach his desk for finalization.
Doran said the Ministry is making sure due diligence is done with regards to bidding since the Ministry has been the center of controversy when it comes to bidding. “ I am trying to make sure all I’s are dotted and all T’s are crossed since it is better to be safe than to be sorry” to ensure there is a set procedure in place moving forward.
