Implementation of Financial Regulations
The former President CBK openly violated tender procedure in awarding the contract for the purchase of locomotives to a French company. Within 6 months some of these locomotives were in the garage for repairs.The Chairman of theTender Board who was also the Secretary to the Treasury and the Secretary to the Ministry of Transport both resigned in protest. Her action was a violation of the Financial Regulations and was tainted. Isn’t it the duty of the Attorney General and the IGP to take action against her? Now there is a Public Procrement Bill which reproduces the Financial Regulations, although in much greater detail. But unless laws and Regulations are implemented they are mere scraps of paper.
