Sulemana Braimah, Executive Director of the Media Foundation for West Africa, has raised concerns about the government's use of sole-sourced contracts.
He stated that the coming days will reveal whether the Maama administration is truly following through on its pledge to stop the abuse of these types of contracts.
Braimah highlighted that the misuse of sole-sourced and restrictive tendering processes often leads to the improper use of state resources.
He suggests that these practices represent a significant drain on public funds.
The call for transparency in public procurement remains a key issue for civil society organizations.
Government entities are expected to adhere to strict procurement laws to ensure fairness and accountability.
The effectiveness of oversight mechanisms is crucial in monitoring contract awards.
Further details on the government's actions are anticipated in the near future.
