The Ministerial Tender Board (MTB) of the Ministry of Home Affairs has been accused of splitting 33 transactions in an effort to avoid the contracts going to the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board (NPTAB) for adjudication, the Auditor General’s report for the financial year of 2020 found.
“An examination of the Contract Register and MTB awards revealed that thirty-three transactions totaling $44.446M were split to avoid NPTAB adjudication. This is in contravention to Section 14 of the Procurement Act,” the report stated.
