According to the GAC, issues of non-compliance to the terms of the service contract were identified, but in its conclusion, those issues do not amount to fraud. The procurement method used was a Consultant Direct Selection(CDS), which was approved (No Objection) by the World Bank. The LWSC Management obtained a no objection from the World Bank to award the contract to Hydroconseil,” the GAC reports. The widespread reports of the US$99,000.00 alleged misappropriation were said to have been fueled by the suspended Deputy Managing Director for Finance at the LWSC, Sencee J. Morris. With the vindication of the suspended LWSC MD by the GAC’s Special Investigative Audit, pundits say the lifting of his suspension by the President is imminent.
