CUC cooperating with Saipan delegation probe

These include “extensive spread sheets, some of which go back to 1990,” according to the panel’s chairwoman, Rep. Tina Sablan, Ind.-Saipan.

Her committee is looking into CUC’s finances and financial dealings.

“Right now we’re focusing on CUC’s contracts and major expenditures on engine repairs,” Sablan said in an interview on Friday. “We’re looking for work that wasn’t completed and for which CUC is still paying.”

She said her committee also wants to know who won the contracts for the repairs of Engines 5  and 7 at Power Plant 1. “There seems to be no long-term plan for overhauling the troubled engines — and that’s another concern we’re looking into,” she added.

In September, Sablan asked CUC to provide her committee with an “up to date and complete information regarding all contracts and small purchases executed by CUC from Jan. 2005 to Sept. 2008.” These included “all pending requests for proposals, invitation to bid, requests for quotations and other relevant procurement documents for any goods and services for CUC. [And] copies of any contracts executed between Jan. 2005 and Sept. 2008 to which CUC was not a party but was a beneficiary.” (Zaldy Dandan)
