Garbage sale deal sparks controversy
The city government's decision to sell garbage to a private sector cement firm for production of electricity without inviting companies to tender for the contract and obtaining permission from the city council has raised serious questions about the transparency of the deal and environmental suitability of the project. According to the agreement between the city government's enterprise and investment promotion department and the cement firm, the city government will earn less than half the money it was going to get earlier, Dawn has learnt.
