NDC committed to ending sole-sourcing abuse – Alhassan Suhuyini

Money
Policy
Growth

Key Points

  • Deputy Roads Minister Alhassan Suhuyini reiterated the NDC's commitment to ending sole sourcing abuse in public procurement.
  • The remarks were made on JoyNews Newsfile during discussions on the government’s “Big Push” infrastructure programme.
  • Suhuyini acknowledged that while sole sourcing is permitted, its misuse undermines transparency, competitiveness, and value for money.
  • His comments followed a report by The Fourth Estate alleging extensive sole sourcing (81 contracts, GH¢73 billion) and potential cost inflation under the “Big Push” programme.
  • Roads Minister Governs Kwame Agbodza has disputed these claims, stating that only 44% of major contracts under the programme were sole-sourced.

Why This Matters

This debate is crucial for Ghana as it directly impacts the integrity of public procurement and the efficient allocation of taxpayer money for national development. Ensuring transparency and accountability in awarding large infrastructure contracts is vital for combating corruption, achieving value for money, and sustaining public trust in governance, which underpins economic stability and growth.
