Minister of National Development Khaw Boon Wan on Wednesday explained the actions his ministry had taken amid the controversy over the purchase of branded foldable bikes by NParks.
Khaw wrote then, and again in his latest post, that the decision to buy foldable bikes was justified but noted that the procurement could have been better handled and NParks could have gotten a better deal.
He added that he had “no reason to question the integrity of the officer(s) involved” based on what he had read in the NParks report, but decided anyway to commission an internal audit team to work with NParks to verify if the procurement was conducted in a “fit and proper manner”. Full story
