“I will ensure that there's transparency, fairness and integrity in the procurement process,” she added.

Successive governments have been accused of flouting the procurement laws of the country but Adwoa Safo said she will ensure the NPP government complies with the laws on procurement.

Many governments have also been accused of ignoring the Public Procurement Authority (PPA) when they are undertaking any procurement process.

However, Sara Adwoa Safo said her role “will empower the Procurement Authority in overseeing the procurement process.”

She emphasised that “we need to place emphasis on procurement to prevent our money from going down the drain.”
