Executive Director of the Ghana Integrity Initiative (GII), Mary Awelana Addah, has called for measures aimed at reducing the increasing cases of single-sourcing procurement practices within the public service.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Under single-sourcing procurement, the buying entity deliberately buys from a particular supplier without opening the process up for competitive tender.<\/p>\n

Although single sourcing is legal under certain circumstances, many stakeholders have attributed public sector corruption to this method of procurement.<\/p>\n

According to Madam Addah, public procurement must be subjected to a competitive tendering process to root out corruption.<\/p>\n

\u201cOut of the total procurement window, almost 85 percent of it is done through a single source. And if it is a single source, it means there are a lot of compromises being reached.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf people are buying school materials, textbooks, and the rest in the education sector, health items, and we are procuring them through single source procurement, while the IMF has recommended that we do a lot more of the competitive tendering, then it means we are compromising on the regime and that affects mostly the private sector.\u201d<\/p>\n
