Goolsarran calls for cancellation of e-ID contract

Calling for its cancellation, former Auditor General Anand Goolsarran has upped the pressure on the government over a contract for an electronic ID (e-ID) which was hurriedly concluded virtually with a German company via the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

In his April 3rd accountability column in Stabroek News, Goolsarran rejected arguments by Attorney General Anil Nandlall SC in  defence of the US$34m e-ID contract in which the role of the UAE remains unclear.
