APNU+AFC MP Ganesh Mahipaul has voiced concern over flaws in the current procurement system and called for immediate reforms.
In a statement yesterday, Mahipaul spoke of the need to amend Guyana’s procurement system to ensure fairness and competitive bidding and to stop “friends, families and favourites” from being preferred over others.
Mahipaul posited that the current system, governed by the Procurement Act of 2003, has demonstrated “significant flaws,” particularly in the roles of the Evaluation Committees and the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board (NPTAB).
