PM invites Integrity Commission as monitors in MoBay bypass deal
May 23rd, 2021 | Category: Special Reports | 7:25#JamaicaGleaner #PerimeterRoad #MonetgoBay MAY 23, 2021: Under fire for not tendering the procurement contract for the Montego Bay Perimeter Road, Prime Minister Andrew Holness announced plans to have the Integrity Commission as observers during the negotiations. Holness is hoping to dispel criticism that the Government is trying to avoid scrutiny, and transparency in the procurement process. He argued that the current process is more transparent than what was originally proposed by the People’s National Party (PNP) when it was in power. Holness spoke on the matter during his speech at the official opening ceremony for Montego Bay’s latest attraction, the Harmony Beach Park on Friday, May 21, 2021.
