What system is working Riff,

PPP statement.

These transactions were publicly disclosed by a variety of means. They were published in an extremely comprehensive document produced by Mr. Brassington on privatisation transactions,” he said.
As far as privatisation transactions are concerned, that publication, according to Dr Singh, is without comparison in the degree of detail and the level of transparency displayed in that document.
Dr Singh noted that all the information was publicly disclosed by the PPP/C Government, as well as all of other privatisation transactions. “I hasten to add, unlike our predecessors in office and now our successors in office, our privatisation transactions in office were subject to full transparency and scrutiny,

the current government approve millions of dollars to businesses without going to the tender board. Violate the same privatization procedures . And the DPP throw out the charges . And SOCCU didn’t see it fit to investigate the minister .

Who is abusing the system now.
