A local contractor is the latest to have been blacklisted by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).<\/p>\n

According to the most recent list of blacklisted companies and individuals that are barred from participating in IDB contracts, Vevakanand Dalip Enterprises and Vevakanand Dalip, its principal, have been barred for the period December 29, 2017 to December 28, 2030. That means that the company will not be able to tender for IDB contracts for 13 years.<\/p>\n

Dalip was blacklisted for \u201cFraudulent and Collusive Practices\u201d.<\/p>\n

Dalip, reportedly based in Lethem, Region Nine, has been bidding for state contracts.<\/p>\n

It has not been the first time that local contractors and individuals have been barred by IDB, one of the biggest funders of government projects.<\/p>\n

It was learnt last year that the previous Coordinator of the Citizen\u2019s Security Programme, Abel Khemraj Rai, was banned for eight years from August 23, 2016 to August 22, 2024.<\/p>\n

Four other companies and individuals that seem to have connections with Rai \u2013 including Sidrai Radiator Works, Sidrai Enterprises, Siddaharta Rai and Ron Jaisari \u2013 were also sanctioned and banned for four to eight years. They were also found guilty of fraudulent and collusive practices. The last four are reportedly from Trinidad.<\/p>\n

Western Scientific Company Limited from Trinidad which did business with Guyana was also handed a four-year ban from March 31, 2016 to October 15, 2020. However, the company controversially received a $30M contract from the Ministry of Public Health last year.<\/p>\n
