    "content": "I hope they are not saying this for the sake of it. I hope it will happen pretty soon. We should see the Government paying its suppliers. We need to keep our people in business to avoid a situation where they have to sell their propriety or get auctioned because of failure to repay loans taken against Local Purchase Orders (LPOs) and Limited Service Offering (LSOs). More importantly, we are now moving beyond the public sector to the private sector to protect the same SMEs from buyer power abuse. We know many SMEs have gone under because of dealing with big buyers like supermarket chains who do not pay suppliers on time. They decide when to pay and there is nothing the small buyer can do to push for payment."
