A review of projects awarded by the National Drainage and Irrigation Authority has shown that 75% of the works on the current budget are sole-sourced.
This was made public through the report of a Forensic Audit into the operations of the NDIA conducted by Nigel Hinds Financial Services.
The audit noted that members of the Civil Engineering Department expressed serious concerns with the Procurement Process during interviews.
One such concern is the fact that more than 75% of the works on the current budget are sole-sourced with quotations being requested from other contractors at a higher price for works already executed.
