Minister of State in charge of Public Procurement, Sarah Adwoa Safo, confirmed the achievement made by the ministry of public procurement.
His comments comes after investigative journalist, Manasseh Azure Awuni, revealed that Talent Discovery Limited (TDL), a company incorporated in June 2017, has won a number of government contracts through restrictive tendering.
Manasseh Azure Awuni has also confirmed that the company was engaged in selling contracts. Undercover encounters with the General Manager of the Company, Thomas Amoah, revealed that the company was selling a ¢22.3 million road contract to K-Drah Enterprise, a fake company Manasseh used for the investigation.
Following the latest investigation, President Akufo-Addo suspended from office the Chief Executive Officer of the Public Procurement Authority (PPA), Adjenim Boateng Adjei.
