"Procurement is not the prerogative of the commander of the BDF. Procurement has a structure and it is not ad hoc. Procurement structures are in place now and working well. These structures involve the BDF, the defence minister and the permanent secretary. The minister presents to Cabinet as well as the Defence Council….While I was the commander, I stopped the middlemen who are also called agents, from calling the shots. Agents are only needed when you need more information about certain equipment."
