Pursuant to its powers under Section 23(1) of the Corrupt Practices Act, on 23rd June
2021, the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) issued a restriction notice to Ministry of
Energy on a contract to supply MAREP Phase 9 materials under contract number
047/MoE-MAREP-PH9-G-NCB-2020/2021FY-08.
This followed complaints which were received by the ACB alleging irregularities and
suspected corruption surrounding the procurement process of the materials under
MAREP 9.
The ACB instituted investigations into the matter. The investigation has established
that there were irregularities in the way the procurement process was handled. The
Bureau has therefore, ordered the Ministry of Energy to restart the process as the
Bureau takes other necessary action on the matter.
