The companies will not be able to work with RPPA within six months up to five years.
According to the law on public procurement, for any item bought for over Rwf100 000, the government procurement authority must offer tenders and invite bidders through competition.
In order for a company to enter the competition, it must first fulfill the requirements, including the ability to provide what it is competing for.
Harriet Umutesi, an investigation officer at RPPA, says that the companies are exposed so as to prevent other government institutions from working with them.
“The main reason for publishing the companies is to reduce the number of people who do not abide by their contractual obligations and frauds. Some companies forge bank documents among others to win tenders, “she says.
She adds that when a company feels that it has been mistreated, it is allowed to sue so to restore its public image.
“You may appeal through court and, when you win, we will return your name on this list. We suspend the companies based on information, and there are cases of companies that we removed from the list on court’s order,” she explained.
Below are some ten companies that were blacklisted:
