The Public Procurement Commission (PPC) on Tuesday handed over its Annual Report for the year 2022-2023 to the Speaker of the National Assembly, Manzoor Nadir.

According to a PPC release, this event marks a significant milestone as it is not only the first Annual Report for the first year of operation of this, the second fully constituted PPC, but it is also the first Annual Report of the PPC to ever be laid before the National Assembly as required by Article 212CC of the constitution.

PPC Chairperson, Pauline Chase, who was accompanied by Deputy Chairman, Berkley Wickham, expressed her delight at being able to present the report. “We are delighted to present this Report as we are mandated to do by Article 212CC of the constitution. The Report was actually completed since the end of last year but due to formatting and printing difficulties, its delivery was delayed. We are dedicated to presenting our next Annual Report before the end of this year, covering our second year of operation, which concludes next week on July 8th.”
