The Public Procurement Agency (DGCP) has recommended that the Office of the Comptroller General suspend all payments associated with approximately 150 contracts signed by the National Institute of Student Welfare (Inabie) for school supplies.

This recommendation stems from an ongoing investigation into potential irregularities in three public bidding processes conducted by Inabie, a division under the Ministry of Education. As reported, the DGCP initiated the probe in April 2025 after detecting signs of foul play in the procurement procedures.
