-Cabinet grants no-objection to over $2B in contracts
Government, on Tuesday, during its Cabinet meeting, granted its no-objection to several contracts to the tune of over $2B.
One of the major ones was awarded to former Commonwealth Secretary General, Sir Shridath Ramphal, to provide advisory services to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the Guyana-Venezuela border controversy.
The official has worked with Guyana also on the Suriname border issue, seeing it through to a United Nations’ resolution. For his advice Guyana will be paying him STG 26,100. To partner with Sir Shridath will be Dr. Payam Akhavan.
Akhavan is currently an Associate Professor of International Law and former Boulton Senior Fellow at McGill University Faculty of Law in Montreal, Canada. He has since played a leading role as a pioneer of international criminal law and global justice, and is regarded as a leading scholar and practitioner of international law and human rights, [and an important figure in the Iranian human rights movement.
Last year, Venezuela, amidst simmering relations with Guyana, restated a century-old claim it had with Guyana. Guyana has taken the matter to the UN and is insisting it wants a juridical settlement.
The contracts covered from the Ministries of Public Infrastructure, Health, Education, Security, Communities and Social Protection. The contracts are as follows:

handouts and freebies are seldom valued and/or appreciated; it’s not an uncommon part of the Guyanese culture. but to be burdening the taxpayer of this land to pay an alleged patriot living in a foreign land to defend his country’s dignity is preposterous. Ramphal ought to be held responsible for failing his country in retrospect.
