Executive Director of the Media Foundation for West Africa Sulemana Braimah has raised questions about the government's commitment to ending the abuse of sole-sourced contracts.
Braimah indicated that the coming days will reveal whether the Maama administration is adhering to its promise to stop the misuse of sole-sourced and restrictive tendering processes.
He stated that the abuse of state resources is a significant concern.
Sole-sourcing allows government agencies to award contracts without a competitive bidding process.
This practice can sometimes lead to inflated prices or contracts awarded to unqualified entities.
Braimah's comments suggest skepticism about the enforcement of new policies aimed at transparent procurement.
The coming days are expected to shed light on the government's actions regarding contract awards.
Ghana's procurement laws allow for sole-sourcing under specific conditions, but potential for abuse remains a subject of public interest.
