Prime Minister Dr. Keith Rowley says the court has awarded almost $1 billion to OAS Construtora, the contractor who defaulted on the construction of the Point Fortin Highway Extension.
The Prime Minister outlined the circumstances of the court’s decision in the Parliament on Friday.
He noted the National Infrastructure Development Company (NIDCO) is appealing the award but said in light of the court award, questions need to be raised as to who authorised the amendment of the contract and other matters.
The Prime Minister raised four specific questions for the Enquiry to investigate. Among them exactly who advised on the amendment of the contract.
