Hous­ing Min­is­ter David Lee says the Gov­ern­ment re­mains com­mit­ted to com­ply­ing with pro­cure­ment law, in­sist­ing that no con­tracts linked to the Hous­ing De­vel­op­ment Cor­po­ra­tion (HDC) have been award­ed amid on­go­ing in­ves­ti­ga­tions by the Of­fice of Pro­cure­ment Reg­u­la­tion (OPR).

Lee was re­spond­ing to ques­tions about the reg­u­la­tor’s in­ter­ven­tion in­to the HDC’s pro­cure­ment process.

In mid-April, the OPR di­rect­ed the HDC to sus­pend the award of $3.4 bil­lion in hous­ing con­tracts pend­ing a com­pre­hen­sive re­view of pro­cure­ment records.
