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 follows complaints received by the ACB alleging irregularities and suspected
corruption surrounding the procurement process of the materials under MAREP 9.
The ACB has instituted investigations into the matter.
Following the restriction notice, the Ministry of Energy is therefore restricted from
proceeding with award of contract until the ACB has concluded the investigation or
lifted the restriction notice.
