Mr John Mbadi, the Finance and Planning Minister, recently put out a public notice inviting procurement professionals, members of the public, and civil society actors, to submit views and proposals on how to reform the current legal framework governing public procurement.
Coming in the middle of the raging controversy about the slew of Public Private Partnerships (PPP) transactions currently under negotiations between the Adani Group of India and a number of state agencies, you can bet that proposals and views on what needs to be changed in the current regime will come fast and furious.
