Sulemana Braimah, Executive Director of the Media Foundation for West Africa, has voiced concerns about government contracts. He stated that the next few days will reveal whether the Maama administration is keeping its word.
The promise in question is to stop the abuse of sole-sourced contracts and restrictive tendering processes. This is a key area of public finance management.
Braimah highlighted that the misuse of state resources is a significant problem. He implied that adherence to the promise is not yet certain.
The public is watching to see if new measures will be put in place and enforced. This includes ensuring fair competition and value for money in government procurement.
The administration's actions regarding these contracts will be a measure of its commitment to good governance and accountability.
