KUALA LUMPUR – Putrajaya paid RM499.18 million to a concession company labelled 107423-H for maintenance services despite the company not presenting a full key performance indicator (KPI) report as required in a contract agreement for the implementation of the Government Integrated Radio Network (GIRN).

According to the auditor-general’s (AG) 2020 report, the agreement between the government and concessionaire stated that payments for maintenance would be made after certain KPIs had been achieved and its monthly KPI reports were presented to the relevant government agencies.

However, following an audit on the KPI reports by the concessionaire for January 2019 to October 2020, two out of five parameters – handover between cells and data throughput – were listed as non-available.

“Nevertheless, audit checks regarding payment instructions revealed full payments were made to the concessionaire for January 2019 to October 2020 amounting to RM499.18 million.

“Of that, RM476.41 million comprise claims from February 2019 to October 2020 made under an agreement titled MSF-3. The agreement was yet to be signed,” the AG’s report read.
