The Senate has stressed the need for an urgent amendment of the nation’s procurement act.

The bill to the act titled “The bill to Amend the National Council on Public Procurement and Bureau of Public Procurement Act” scaled the second reading on the floor of the Senate as lawmakers said the current act is untenable and will circumvent the reforms expected to be made in the nation’s procurement process.

Lawmakers also criticized the lack of inauguration of the national procurement council by successive governments and urged the current administration to inaugurate the council to spearhead expected reforms.
