SC orders strict evaluation of courts’ procurement plans

THE Supreme Court (SC) has ordered its Procurement Planning Committee (PPC) to strictly evaluate requests for capital equipment and infrastructure, such as office renovation, that are not covered by the available funds in the judiciary’s regular appropriation for 2015.

The directive came after the court en banc approved the 2015 Annual Procurement Plan (APP) for the High Court and the lower courts as recommended by the PPC.
