Taulo removed as Malawi procurement chief, moved to ADL as deputy CEO
Director of the public procurement Paul Taulo has now been relocated to Airport Development Limited (ADL) as deputy chief executive officer after being removed from the Office of the Director of Public Procurement (ODPP) .
Office of the President and Cabinet (OPC) has described the removal of Taulo as normal transfer.
Nyasa Times understands that Taulo has been replaced by his deputy Edward Jeke as new director of public procurement.
Taulo told a procurement and supply management conference in Mangochi that the recent enactment of the Public Procurement and Disposal of Assets (PPDA) Bill of June 2017 will see the establishment of the new regulatory authority of public procurement and disposal of public assets in the country which will soon replace ODPP.
“We are in the process of establishing the Public Procurement and Disposal of Assets Authority (PPDA). This means that the PPDA will shortly replace ODPP which was established under the Public Procurement Act of 2003 which was primarily responsible for the establishment of the Malawi Institute of Procurement and supply (MIPS) in 2008,” said Taulo.
