Narrative Analysis: Appeal to Fear

Re-constructing public sector procurement to avoid revenue wastage and losses

Ghana's own procurement statute sits within a recognisable global family of reform. The UNCITRAL Model Law on Public Procurement — the United Nations' template instrument, revised in 2011 and used as a drafting reference by dozens of jurisdictions — and the OECD Recommendation on Public Procurement both converge on the same design principles that Dr. Kpentey's recommendations independently echo: consolidated institutional accountability, transparency and competition in tendering, life-cycle value-for-money assessment rather than lowest-price-only evaluation, and mandatory use of electronic procurement platforms to create an auditable digital trail. Multilateral development banks — the World Bank and the African Development Bank among them — apply harmonised procurement frameworks to the projects they finance in Ghana that already impose many of these disciplines on a project-by-project basis; the GOGPO proposal, in effect, asks Ghana to generalise those disciplines across the whole of domestically financed procurement rather than confining them to donor-funded projects.
