Deputy Minister of Finance, Thomas Ampem Nyarko, has assured that the ministry will support the push for the consideration of the public procurement and supply bill.<\/p>\n

The bill is expected to regulate procurement in the public sector as well as help the government avoid leakage in the financing projects.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is to confirm that cabinet is currently considering this bill and the ministry of finance with parliament and the lead sponsor ministry of education and all stakeholders will ensure its passage in the next sitting.<\/p>\n

Because of the repeated statements that I have heard in this auditorium about this bill as soon as I leave here I will place a call to the education Minister to have a discussion on prioritizing this bill.<\/p>\n

The executive will do our part and send it to parliament.<\/p>\n

We are targeting the end of this year, parliament will consider when we\u2019re back somewhere in October\u201d he assured.<\/p>\n

The conference is focused on the economy as the Institute believes that the country\u2019s economic activity begins at the procurement level.<\/p>\n

Speaking on behalf of the finance minister, Deputy Minister of finance, Thomas Ampem Nyarko believes that practitioners must be licensed to operate in a regulated environment to stimulate economic growth.<\/p>\n

He acknowledged the role played by the Ghana Institute of Procurement and Supply chain in advancing the course of government in procurement processes. He therefore assured that maximum attention will be given to the procurement and supply chain professionals\u2019 bill when parliament resumes.<\/p>\n
