Contracts awarded for $715M in road works in regions 4, 6, 10
The caretaker APNU+AFC administration on Friday released to the media a list of approved road contracts worth $714.51m for regions 4, 6 and 10.
Since it has effectively been a caretaker government from December 21 last year the contracts approved by the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board and noted by Cabinet will raise eyebrows.
Many of these roads are also located within what are perceived to be strongholds of the governing APNU+AFC coalition.
