His remark has stirred public debate and raised fresh concerns about accountability and governance.
According to TV3 Ghana, Suhuyini urged the public not to create outrage where none exists, stating, “There is no way this government will survive four years without a scandal, but let us not force one when there is no scandal.”
While some see this as a realistic view of politics, others believe it reflects a worrying acceptance of scandal as part of governance.
The discussion took a more serious turn when procurement practices were highlighted. Data shared during the broadcast indicated that an average of 15 contracts are awarded each month, with about 11 to 12 of them being sole-sourced.
This has raised concerns among many observers, who question whether such a high level of sole sourcing is justified.
For many Ghanaians, this information is unsettling. It raises important questions about transparency, fairness, and whether the country is getting value for money in public projects. While sole sourcing can be necessary in certain situations, its frequent use continues to attract criticism.
Supporters of the government argue that the process is legal and sometimes necessary, especially in urgent cases. However, critics insist that relying heavily on it could weaken public trust and reduce accountability.
Suhuyini’s comment, whether intended as honesty or caution, has clearly struck a chord. It has not only sparked debate but also renewed calls for greater transparency and stronger oversight in how public contracts are awarded.
