Christie

Claiming his office was not given details about new contracting measures that Cabinet recently approved, Contractor General Greg Christie yesterday wrote to Prime Minister Bruce Golding, asking that his office be consulted before these measures are implemented.

On Monday, Cabinet approved a new measure to increase the threshold for the award of contracts by the National Contracts Commission (NCC) and the Cabinet.

"We would be grateful if the Commission of the Contractor General is afforded with the opportunity to be consulted on the matter before the referenced new measures are formally implemented," wrote Mr. Christie in a letter addressed to Mr. Golding and copied to Cabinet Secretary Dr. Carlton Davies and NCC Chair, Shirley Tyndall.
