I proved that Cintra was awarded the prelimenary contract from 3 different bidders. Nobody was hired. If Kinky says Cintra was hired, he is a liar.

As for why Cintra won the initial contract, you would have to say they presented the best bid. And not neccesarily the cheapest. They are the most experienced.

He didn't say they were hired. He said he was against giving the contract to foreign companies, he would like it to go to US companies.
