Director General (CEO) of the Public Procurement Authority, AB Adjei, indicated that the administration of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) had never promised in 2016 to end the practice of the single sourcing after his election to power.

According to him, the party promised only to tackle the abuses that were previously badociated with a sole provider.

He said that it would be impossible for anyone to advocate for the exemption of the sole sourcing method of Ghana's laws.

Mr. Adjei was answering questions from the Meet the Press series of the Ministry of Information on Tuesday in Accra.

Asked that the NPP government got rid of sole-sourced deals after filing several complaints about this practice during the administration of President John Mahama, he said the NPP's concern at the time was the unjustified abuses this single source should be removed from the law.

He pointed out that it was impossible for any buying regime in the world to eliminate single-sourcing, adding that the NPP had promised to control the abuse of the sole-sourcing system under Mahama's administration.

In 2017, he added, there were 420 single procurement requests, of which 236 were approved and 184 rejected.

The restrictive call for tenders during this year, he said, 372 applications were received, 174 approved and 198

In 2018, 511 unique requests were requested, of which 409 were approved and 103 rejected.

In the same year, 386 restricted tenders were issued, 261 were approved and 125 were rejected.

More than 1 billion Ghc was saved in 2017 and 2018 during the process.

Comparing the NDC regime with the NPP government, he noted that in 2016, the total number of requests for single and restrictive tenders was 1,214, of which 1,184 were were approved and 30 were rejected.

Giving the breakdown, he said, sole-source requests were 622 with 236 approved, 134 rejected.

The restrictive tender for 2016 received 592 applications, of which 587 were approved and five were rejected.

The NDC regime, he said, did not achieve any savings in 2016 thanks to sole outsourcing and restrictive tenders.
