write a five page reation paper on the topic,assessing procurement committees and procurement laws in the northern region of ghana with the below abstract:

Millions of dollars get wasted due to inefficient and ineffective procurement structures,

committees, policies and procedures. Against this backdrop the study assessed

procurement committees and procurement laws in the northern region of Ghana by

specifically determining the level at which the procurement committees comply with the

contract value threshold in the Northern region, examining whether there are significant

differences in the use procurement methods in reducing corruption and to identify the

challenges confronting the procurement committees in complying with the contract value

threshold. The study adopted mixed research design with a sample size of $127.$ The study

employed compliance index, one way ANOVA, and five points Likert Scale in addition to

Kendall$$s coefficient of concordance to achieve the three specific objectives.The study

revealed that only four MMDAs namely Gusheigu Municipality, Kumbungu District, Mion

District, and Saboba District have high compliance level with Kumbungu District having

the highest compliance index $($index of $0\mathrm{.}81)$ among the MMDAs studied with the

remaining MMDAs having moderate compliance. We found out that the overall

compliance among the MMDAs in the Northern Region of Ghana of Ghana is moderate.

Also,study revealed that there are statistically significance differences among the methods

of procurement in reducing corruption. The study found out that Two Stage Tendering

Method reduces corruption compared to other methods.The study further revealed that

Political interference is the most pressing challenge while delay in the release of

procurement reports being the least pressing challenge.The study recommends that

procurement supervision at the MMDAs level should be strengthened by the Public

Procurement Authority and the Ministry of Local Government.
