A parliamentary subcommittee has been formed to study the issue of receiving multiple tenders from the same contractor from the Department of Bridges and Road Transport. The Standing Committee of the Ministry of Road Transport and Bridges has asked the subcommittee to present an investigative report in the next two months.
In addition, two more parliamentary investigation committees under the Ministry of Road Transport and Bridges have been formed to investigate allegations of irregularities and mismanagement in the bridge department project.
The subcommittee was formed at the eighth committee meeting held in the parliament building on Thursday (December 31). A two-member subcommittee was formed summoning Sheikh Salahuddin, a member of the committee.
Electronic bidding is known to have started in June 2011 in various government departments and agencies to ensure transparency, efficiency and free competition in public procurement. Stakeholders feel that the government objective is not being implemented due to deficiencies in public procurement laws and regulations. There are reports that some contractors are finding work in the legal arena of electronic tendering. As a result, there was no transparency in the government’s development work and no corruption.

Instead, another subcommittee was formed to investigate allegations of irregularities and corruption in the collection of tolls on all bridges in the country.
