Ensure best value in procurement to reduce govt spending, says Rafizi

PETALING JAYA: The government should ensure that it gets the best value in procurement projects in order to reduce its expenditure, says economic affairs minister Rafizi Ramli.

Rafizi said this could be a short-term approach to strengthening Putrajaya’s fiscal position in view of the national debt estimated at RM1.2 trillion.

“We can ensure that we optimise the delivery and cost efficiency of each government project as a way to save money and prevent leakages,” Harian Metro quoted him as saying.
