Govt needs to improve procurement process during times of Emergency, says Deputy Health Minister

KUALA LUMPUR: No agreement was needed for Emergency procurement during Covid-19, which could have led to the supplier taking advantage of the situation by providing defective ventilators, says Deputy Health Minister Lukanisman Awang Sauni.

He said the circulars from the Treasury related to Emergency expenditure and procurement did not require the ministry to prepare an agreement prior to the purchase.
