The Auditor General has recommended a police investigation into the single-sourcing of 71 legal contracts by the APNU+AFC government.
“The Ministry of Legal Affairs Contract Registers for the period May 2015 to August 2020 shows 71 contracts were awarded to 26 Attorneys-at-Law/Law Firms/Agency totalling $170.828 million,” the report of a special audit of the Attorney General’s Retainer Agreements said.
Following the examination of these contract the Audit concluded that there was no evidence that the Contracts were publicly advertised, which is in breach of Sections 25. (1) and 10 (1) of the Procurement Act of 2003. Direct Contracting or the Single-Source method was used to award these contracts
