Sulemana Braimah, Executive Director of the Media Foundation for West Africa, has raised concerns about the government's commitment to stopping the abuse of sole-sourced contracts. He believes the next few days will show if the Maama administration is upholding its promise.
Braimah pointed out that the misuse of sole-sourced contracts and restrictive tendering represents a significant abuse of state resources.
He suggested that this practice undermines fair competition and proper financial oversight within government procurement processes.
The executive director's statement highlights a critical area for public scrutiny regarding public funds management.
The administration had previously pledged to reform procurement practices and reduce reliance on single-bidder contracts.
Braimah's comments serve as a call for transparency and accountability in how government contracts are awarded.
The public awaits further evidence to determine adherence to the stated policy on sole-sourcing.
