Committee of Supply 2022 debate, Day 1: Edward Chia on assessing contractors as paymasters in the value chain

As a major buyer of goods and services, how has the Government supported its suppliers and service contractors as they face global supply chain disruptions and cash flow challenges? Can the Government assess its main contractors for swiftness of payments to sub-contractors and make this a key consideration in handing out contracts? These were some questions put forth by MP Edward Chia in Parliament on Wednesday (Mar 2).
