Georgetown: Amendments to the Procurement Act would be read for the first time in the National Assembly Thursday (October, 7, 2013) according to Cabinet Secretary, Dr. Roger Luncheon.
Dr. Luncheon finds the linkage between the Commission and the AML/CFT by the AFC, absurd.
“It was probably the 2001 Constitutional amendment which provided for the creation of the PPC…Unfortunately the PPC has not been established…However, I doubt whether anyone here would argue that the consequences over the years since 2001 to 2013 have been so dire that the linkage of its creation with the enactment of AML Bill is reasonable and make sense,” he said.
According to Dr. Luncheon, Government will be identifying its nominees for the parliamentary consideration to sit on the Commission subsequent to the enactment of the amendments.
