Several private sector civil society organisations are not in support of amending the Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Property Act to allow for Ministerial Orders to be made subject to negative resolution of the Parliament.
The organisations met on Monday to discuss the proposed amendments.
The group was chaired by the Joint Consultative Council and includes AMCHAM T&T, T&T Chamber of Industry and Commerce, TTCSI, and the T&T Transparency Institute.
It says while it acknowledge there is a need to consider the threshold under which the Act need not apply, the organisations are not in support of such threshold being set at TTD one million dollars.
