On the eve of the April 28 general election, during April 14 and April 24, the PNM Government renewed over 360 CEPEP contracts.

The contracts were renewed for a three-year period.

This was revealed by Public Utilities Minister Barry Padarath at yesterday’s post-Cabinet news conference at the Red House. CEPEP previously fell under the Ministry of Rural Development and Local Government, for which former minister, now Senator, Faris Al-Rawi had responsibility.
