(No. B/398) Mr K. Rookny (Third Member for Pamplemousses & Triolet) asked the Prime Minister, Minister of Defence, Home Affairs and External Communications, Minister of Finance, Minister for Rodrigues and Outer Islands whether, in regard to Verde Frontier Solutions Ltd., he will, for the benefit of the House, obtain information as to the number of contracts awarded thereto by Government and/or public bodies over the period 2015 to 2024, indicating in each case the – (a) corresponding contractual value thereof, and (b) procurement method used therefor.
Madam Speaker, according to information obtained so far, 20 contracts have been awarded by ministries and public bodies during the period from 2015 to 2024 to Verde Frontier Solutions Ltd for a total contractual value of Rs50.6 million. Furthermore, MauBank Holdings Ltd has awarded a contract of Rs17.9 million to a Consortium comprising Priscus Finance, Gibraltar Advisory and Verde Frontier Solutions Ltd as transaction advisor for the disposal of its subsidiaries. With regard to parts (a) and (b) of the question, I am tabling the corresponding contractual value of each contract and the procurement method used thereafter.
30 Madam Speaker, in view of the fact that additional information is being compiled, I intend to make a further statement on the entire Verde saga. This is now the subject of an ongoing inquiry, and I would therefore refrain from saying more in order not to prejudice that enquiry.
