Minister of MIDH Says the Books are Open

Members of the Opposition have criticized the Ministry of Infrastructure Development and Housing for not making public records accessible. When we got the chance to speak with the minister on Friday, we asked him to respond. He said that anyone who wants to review the contracts can do so upon request and that shortly, contracts will be available online.

“Any contract that we have signed I’m welcoming anybody to have a look at it. There’s for example, the coast. A lot was, as I said, that was designed. It was done. The contract was awarded before our time. So let’s open it up if he has any concern. Are these contracts made available online? Can people just sure I don’t believe it’s online, but it’s available upon request.”
