OCG doesn't award, approve contracts

Thursday, June 09, 2011



THE Office of the Contractor General (OCG) yesterday corrected a report in yesterday's Business Observer stating that the OCG had approved the Government's recommendation of a US$426,000 LNG project manager services contract to Ernest Meggison.

In a news release responding to the story on contract developments relating to the Government's LNG project, the OCG reminded that it "does not award, approve, endorse or recommend for award, approval or endorsement any Government contract, licence or permit".

"The contractor general is responsible solely for monitoring and investigating the award and implementation of Government contracts, licences and permits and related matters," the OCG pointed out.

The OCG also explained that it is "the Secretariat for the contractor general and the National Contracts Commission. However, both the contractor general and the National Contracts Commission are independent, separate and distinct Commissions of Parliament".
