State to Set Up Audit Committee to Monitor
Waste Management Contracts


Shah Alam - The Selangor Government will form a special audit committee to ensure that those awarded waste management contracts in Selangor are genuine operators.

The auditing committee will be coordinating closely with Alam Flora officials to ensure that those given the contracts are not brokers. They will be conducting ground checks and inspect the value of the services provided.

Companies that are found to be brokers will have their contracts withdrawn immediately and these cases will be reported to the relevant authorities.

The state government hopes that the formation of the committee will curb the unhealthy practice of awarding contract to brockers instead of genuine operators. This practice was rampant under the previous state government and the Pakatan Rakyat Government in Selangor has no intention to continue such unethical trend.

The state also hopes that this measure will primarily ensure that Selangor citizens will be provided value-for-money services by those awarded the contracts - irrespective of what their political affiliations, race or background may be.

The state is also in the midst of studying strategies for the implementation of a more transparent and accountable tender system for future contracts.
