LETTER | A support letter is issued to an entity which was being investigated for 42 cases of alleged malpractice.

| C4 is gravely concerned over recent news reports on how the trends in tenders and contract awards have transpired. For instance, a support letter from the agriculture and agro-based industry minister to the prime minister.

He perceived the action of writing a support letter as harmless, as the award letters have not yet been issued. It “prohibits members of the administration or any highly influential persons from issuing supporting letters for any projects or applications and as such, heads of departments are to deny such letters as directives or decisions”.

a) is not just erroneous but also deplorable as a clear indication of the unchecked power of public officials in using power to influence the selection process; d) under the foreseen threat of public procurement in the NACP , in the case where it is not followed, undermines the transparency of the procurement process.
