Procurement corruption in the midst of COVID-19

In my considered view, the procurement function is one of the hardest hit functions by the pandemic that is currently causing havoc across the operations of many sectors from government to private owned entities.

Sadly, while many business functions have had to deal with the disruptions brought about by the coronavirus only, the procurement function seems to be battling the two pandemics at the same time: COVID-19 being the first pandemic of course, while the second is massive corruption that has besieged the procurement of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) across the world.
