Zafrul’s disclosure unlikely to change anything

Can he (Tengku Zafrul) see a better process in govt awards of contracts?

INHERENTLY, the government procurement has always been a weak point in the administration because of the civil service losing its clout over the decision-making process.

The erosion started in the early 1980s during Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s first stint as Prime Minister and continued over the years. It all started with politicians having an influence on key appointments in the civil service.
