An audit revealed serious irregularities in the procurement process, including documents issued without proper approval and unauthorized modifications, raising concerns about transparency.<\/p>\n<p>The audit, conducted by the Comptroller General, covered the period from February 2023 to June 2024 and identified procedural violations. These included unapproved documents, incomplete responses to bidder concerns, and technical requirement changes that favored Transcore. Despite claims of 90% completion, only 20% of the project had been completed, with significant gaps in fiber optic installation, traffic light regulator setup, and camera connections.<\/p>\n<p>The Comptroller\u2019s Office recommended terminating the contract with Transcore to prevent further financial losses. A new tender process was advised, encouraging international company participation, and suggested that control over the traffic light system\u2019s database be returned to Intrant for national security purposes.
