‘We have tightened up the system enormously to improve the procurement process’ – Jagdeo

APNU+AFC period in gov’t was most corrupt in Guyanese history – Jagdeo

In defending the current government, Jagdeo emphasized that the PPP/C has maintained a transparent procurement process, with all contract awards posted online for public scrutiny.

He acknowledged that while issues may still arise, the government has actively condemned attempts to corrupt the system and has implemented measures to ensure compliance with procurement laws.

Jagdeo also highlighted ongoing efforts to improve the procurement process, including regional training and the establishment of clear rules to prevent conflicts of interest, though he noted that the government cannot restrict family members of officials from working in the sector.

“The effort to clean up the system has been enormous,” Jagdeo stated. “For those seeking details on the cleanup and the extent of past corruption, we encourage them to review the facts.”
