President of the Jamaica Manufacturers’ Association, , is clarifying reports that he wants EWI to be excluded from the new procurement process.
In a statement to the media yesterday, EWI’s lawyers, objected to reports that Mr. Pengelley has made such comments elsewhere in the media.
Mr. Pengelley says the ESET must decide on the viability of an EWI proposal.
EWI is being represented locally by attorney, Abe Dabdoub.
In his statement yesterday, Mr. Dabdoub questioned whether Mr. Pengelley is concerned about the high electricity bills consumers are facing.
He says it’s also ‘unfortunate’ and ‘unacceptable’ that people have resorted to electricity theft to survive.
AND, Energy Consultant, Stephen Wedderbrun, says in the interest of transparency, EWI should be allowed to bid again.
