ALL line ministries must reorganise tender committees to improve working efficiencies relating to public procurement activities, President Hakainde Hichilema has ordered.

Mr Hichilema said reorganising the tender procurement committees across the line ministries would help in protecting   public resources.

In a statement issued by his spokesperson, Anthony Bwalya, President Hichilema said his administration wants to ensure that public procurement was never used as a conduit to plunder people’s resources.

He directed all line ministers to tighten the supervisory tone over their respective tender committees and ensure public resources were correctly and optimally applied for the benefit of the people.

The President said line ministries’ procurement and tender committee operatives who will act outside or against public interest will face the law and stern disciplinary measures will be taken against them.
