The Kano State House of Assembly has passed the bill to establish the State Public Procurement Bureau.
This followed the adoption of a motion by the Majority Leader, Alhaji Labaran Madari, on Tuesday’s plenary.
Speaking on the motion, Madari urged his colleagues to support the motion considering its importance to the state.
According to him, the bill will promote transparency and accountability in the supply and awards of contracts.
“The Public Procurement Law relates to those legal provisions which regulate the purchasing and the procuring of services and goods by the government,” he said.
The Speaker, Alhaji Hamisu Chidari, said the bill if assented to by the governor, would ensure transparency and accountability in the state government’s purchase of goods and services.
Chidari said the bill would also help supervise procurement in government Ministries Departments, Agencies, and local government councils in the state.
The Kano State Public Debt Management office bill 2021 and Kano State and Local Government Revenue Administration (consolidation and codification) bill 2021 also scaled second reading at the House. (NAN)
