Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>The newly confirmed Executive Director of the Public Procurement and Concessions Commission (PPCC) has vowed to review every and all procurements and concession agreement documents.<\/p>\nAt his induction ceremony Thursday, 13 July 2023 at PPCC\u2019s office in Monrovia, Mr. Bodger Scott Johnson pledged to mitigate and prevent corruption across all spectrums of government.<\/p>\n
He said his leadership will enforce compliance and monitoring adequately and transparently in the procurement sector.<\/p>\n
\u201cUnder my leadership, my able PPCC team and I intend to enforce compliance, monitoring adequately and transparently reviewing procurement and concession documents,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He pledged to prevent corruption in the procurement process, providing training and workshops on procurement across the government.<\/p>\n
According to him, they will enforce the PPCC Act across the national government, and they are also willing to work with every government institution regarding their procurement plan and implementation.<\/p>\n
Mr. Johnson outlined that the three components in the procurement processes are people, process, and paperwork, adding that they will work to ensure that such principles are upheld and implemented.<\/p>\n
He stated that people need training, explaining that the procurement process is long because of the lack of more compliance staff.<\/p>\n
Mr. Johnson noted that the paperwork is cumbersome from procuring entities and at PPCC.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy goal is to improve the procurement process. And I certainly welcome the transition to E-procurement,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The new PPCC boss said the primary objective of the institution is to ensure the economic and efficient use of public funds in public procurement.<\/p>\n
He added that it is to ensure that public procurement and concession processes are conducted in a fair, transparent, and non-discriminatory manner.<\/p>\n
He assured that the PPCC under his leadership will uphold these primary objectives by seeking close partnerships and collaboration with government-procuring entities and state-owned enterprises and partners.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am deeply honored by your confidence in my ability and capacity to lead this commission. I feel truly privileged to have the opportunity to serve and work with all our partners for the next four years,\u201d said Mr. Johnson.<\/p>\n
He thanked his predecessor Cllr. Roseline J. Kowo for her efforts and dedication.<\/p>\n
The PPCC on Thursday, 13 July 2023 officially inducted Mr. Johnson as the new Executive Director to steer the affairs of the institution for the next four years.<\/p>\n
Mr. Johnson was appointed by the Board of Commissioners of the PPCC succeeding Cllr. Jargbe Roseline Nagbe Kowo following the expiration of her tenure.<\/p>\n
The program was graced by several government and diplomatic partners who expressed confidence and trust in the new leadership.<\/p>\n
But they urged the new head of the entity to maintain trust and confidence despite believing he can do better.<\/p>\n
