The Department of State Security Service (DSS) has commenced a probe into contracts awarded by the military and other security agencies.
The probe includes arms procurement in the past few years. It was also gathered that some contractors were detained by the military for about 24 to 48 hours for quizzing.
The names of the contractors are yet to be revealed, but the affected contractors were released after making relevant documents available to the security agency.
It was gathered that the presidency was disturbed that some of the immediate past Service Chiefs had complained of lack of equipment contrary to the records available to the government, The Nation reports.
A reliable source, who spoke on condition of anonymity said: “The DSS has launched a discreet probe into award of contracts, procurement and extra-budgetary votes by the military and security agencies in the past five years.
“Some contractors were detained and grilled for about 24 to 36 hours before th
ey were released to their lawyers. Some of the contractors will still be re-invited as the probe progresses.
“Where contracts were duly awarded, the DSS only screened the process and confirmed execution. Some procurements were also verified. The job is however easier in some cases because one of the present Service Chiefs was in charge of procurement in his service.”
