Auditor-General to submit report on Cuban Light Bulb Project this week
More information is expected to come to light this week on the controversy surrounding the Cuban Light Bulb Project.
RJR News has been informed that Energy Minister Clive Mullings is slated to get a report from the Auditor-General by Friday.
After the report is reviewed by the Minister it will be taken to Parliament.
The Auditor General and Contractor General were called in two months ago to investigate the expenditure of $114 million and the commitment to pay another $162 million.
The payments were in connection with the light bulb distribution project which is carried out with the help of the Cuban Government.
Under the programme four million florescent bulbs were to be distributed as part of an effort to encourage energy saving habits among Jamaicans.
In a statement to Parliament, Mr. Mulling said there was no evidence that proper tendering procedures were followed in the awarding of the contract.
Former Energy Minister Phillip Paulwell and his Junior Minister Kern Spencer have denied being involved in any wrongdoing in the management of the project.
