TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO, 2014/03/15
The major opposition People’s National Movement (PNM) is calling on President Anthony Carmona to intervene and possibly stop a multi-billion dollar arrangement being awarded to a company for a waste water treatment plant on the outskirts of the capital.
“If the President is to be authentic to his commitment to the people of Trinidad and Tobago, he must ask the Government for an explanation about this development. I am calling on the Government to stop the award of this arrangement,” said PNM and Opposition Leader Dr. Keith Rowley.
He told a news conference that the award of the bllion-dollar arrangement to Super Industrial Services (SIS) for the Beetham Wastewater Treatment Plant by National-owned National Gas Company (NGC) was made even though SIS’s bid was TT$400 million (One TT dollar =US0.16 cents) additional than the other bidder on the project.
“This is preparation and execution by way of the rape of the Treasury,” Rowley said.
