Guyana<\/p>\n

Attorney General Anil Nandlall has filed a multimillion-dollar lawsuit against Jamaican company, Nevpro Realization INC., Former Public Infrastructure Minister, David Patterson, Former Permanent Secretary Balram Balraj, and Lawrence Mentis over breach of a contract.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit is in relation to losses and damages that were suffered as a result of the breach of contract for the supply and delivery of three Mettler Toledo Weight-in-Motion Scales.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, the AG wants an order of Restitution of all monies received as full payment under the contract dated the 6th<\/sup>\u00a0day of December 2016, made in the sum of seventy-two million four hundred and fifty thousand Guyana dollars (GYD $72,450,000) for breach of the said contract to the Jamaican company.<\/p>\n

Nandlall is also seeking more than $50 million for loss and damage suffered because of negligence to the State from former Minister David Patterson, Mr. Balraj, and Mr. Mentis.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs against the Second, Third and Fourth Named Defendants, damages in excess of fifty million Guyana dollars (GYD $50,000,000) for loss and damage suffered as a result of the misfeasance in public office committed by the Second, Third and Fourth Named Defendants,\u201d. The AG said in his submissions.<\/p>\n

The AG is also seeking fifty million dollars for loss and damage suffered as a result of the misuse, misapplication, and improper disposal of public money contrary to the Fiscal Management and Accountability Act.<\/p>\n

The AG said in November 2016, the Ministry invited suppliers through the National Competitive Bidding and Restricted Tendering method of procurement to bid for the procurement of fourteen (14) different lots of specified goods, which included three (3) Mettler Toledo Weight-In-Motion Scales, but those scales were never delivered.<\/p>\n
