Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State says his government is not scared of any kind of probe with the launch of the Public Procurement Law reform for all transactions to be exhibited on a website for meticulous financial inspection.
He said all the contracts being awarded by the government are now being displayed on the state’s website for the public to assess and inspect to embrace the open contracting culture and allow the citizens to take ownership of the government.
Governor Kayode Fayemi spoke in Ado Ekiti at a three-day public procurement workshop tagged “Promoting transparency and accountability in public education expenditure through open contracting.” This was organized by the Public Private Development Centre (PPDC) in partnership with MacArthur Foundation.
Fayemi was represented by the Commissioner for Budget, Hon. Femi Ajayi who said that Ekiti had keyed into open contracting policy and complying with fiscal regulation via all-inclusive budgeting that would drive its socio- economic policy for radical development.
