Investigative Report: Gaps in Procurement Processes

Shining a Light on Procurement

TISL has published a damning report titled “Behind Closed Doors: The State of Public Procurement.” The report details findings from a six-month investigation into road construction contracts.

Discovered Irregularities

  • Sole Sourcing abuse: Excessive use of non-competitive bidding processes.
  • Contract Inflation: Costs for materials significantly higher than market rates.
  • Ghost Contractors: Payments made to companies with no physical address or track record.

TISL has submitted the dossier to the Auditor General and the Anti-Corruption Commission for further action.
