Civil society group Article 13 has criticised the Irfaan Ali-led administration for its failure to constitute several constitutional bodies, including the Public Procurement Commission (PPC), which has not been functioning for just over a year and it has signaled its readiness to take legal action to ensure the rule of law.
In a statement, Article 13 said that while President Ali’s commitment to addressing the issue of the Constitutional Commissions once he returns from ongoing COP26 summit, is welcome, it is far from satisfactory.
“Without assigning a tier of importance to constitutional and statutory bodies, the failure by President Ali to establish the Public Procurement Commission (PPC) and the Public Procurement Commission Tribunal (PPCT), even as his Government expends or announces the expending of billions of dollars of public funds, can no longer be tolerated.
