Monrovia — Finance and Development Planning Minister, Boima Kamara has been under heavy criticism for allegedly breaching Public Procurement & Concession Commission (PPCC) to purchase for himself a Ford Expedition Platinum (2016 edition).
Documents in the possession of FrontPageAfrica show that the Ministry of Finance and Development Planning purchased the vehicle on February 17, 2017, at the cost of US$70,000.00 from Prestige Motor Corporation.
"Refers to the cost of procuring two vehicles; one of which will be used for the Deputy Minister for Fiscal Affairs and the other for use by the Minister of Finance and Development Planning.
The Sole Source Method of Procurement will be used to procure the Ministers vehicle from Prestige Motor Corporation" - PPCC Approved MFDP Procurement Plan
The purchasing of the vehicle, according to a memorandum issued to the Deputy Minister for Administration and Chief of Office Staff, Edward R. A. Kollie, was necessitated by an accident which the Minister was involved with on February 10, 2017 en route to Monrovia from the Gbarnga-Lofa border upon signing of the US$20 million financing agreement with Saudi Fund for Development.
The vehicle was then handed over to the General Services Agency (GSA) for marking. |
