Supervision is urgently needed to prevent corruption in government procurement, says a signed article in Yanzhao Metropolis News. The following is an excerpt:

Several officials with the center of government procurement under the Guangzhou municipal government were recently investigated for suspected corruption and the case may be handed over to the police soon.

Before this, officials in charge of government procurement were caught for taking bribes. The deputies to the people's congress in Guangzhou even asked why the products bought through government procurement were more expensive than those on the market.
