    "content": "While trying to procure goods, accounting officers must also be guided by the price index provided by the Public Procurement Authority in that particular year. Most of the accounting officers do not take the price index into account. Most of the goods are procured at much higher prices compared to the price index published annually by the Public Procurement Authority. In order to address this situation, accounting officers must be made to comply with Section 54(2) of the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act, 2015, which prohibits public officials from procuring goods and services at inflated prices. Procuring entities must be made to comply with the price index and the relevant laws. There are some areas where the Secretariat must have not complied with the law. It is high time, as we adopt this Report that the agencies responsible for carrying out audit and also investigation came in, investigated and see where the law was not complied with so that the culprits can face the law. I support the Report."
