A Maryland County Representative has described government officials found in the business of awarding less beneficial contracts in concession areas as gangsters.
Representative Bhofal Chambers said it was counterproductive for government officials to approve concession deals not in the interest of the people.
He made the statement while again condemning the contract that led to the takeover of the Decoris oil palm by the Ivorian agro company, SIFCA.
According to Representative Chambers, it was unacceptable for some government officials to be involved in corrupt practice in the awarding of contracts.
The Pleeblo-Sodoken District-two and ruling Unity Party lawmaker did not identify any of the officials he considered as criminals.
But his statement comes nine days after he put a halt to the operations of the SIFCA contract in Maryland.
Representative Chambers claimed the 60 million investment capital of SIFCA is too low compared to the 127 million dollars being offered by the group, BSP.
