By Breaking Belize News Staff (HP): Opposition Leader Tracy Panton is demanding an explanation from Government over the reported renewal of Rey Guerrero’s contract as Director of Procurement.
According to reports cited by Panton, the two year package is worth nearly $450,000. It reportedly includes an annual salary of $160,000, close to $33,000 in allowances and a 20 percent gratuity.
“If these reports are accurate, Belizeans deserve to know who approved these terms, what performance assessment supported the renewal, and what results justify the expenditure,” Panton wrote.
She said the Opposition supports qualified professionals and stronger public procurement, but every dollar must be justified by competence, performance and value for money.
Panton is calling on the Prime Minister and the Ministry of Finance to release the signed contract, provide the supporting performance assessment and account for the Procurement Unit’s results in securing savings, strengthening competitive tendering and preventing abuse.
“Make it make sense,” she wrote.
