Jana Wibawa case: KCJ Engineering failed preliminary assessment, court told
KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court was told today that the engineering and construction company which allegedly contributed RM800,000 to Bersatu, had initially failed a preliminary technical assessment due to unsatisfactory work performance and the presence of 'sick' projects.
KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court was informed today that engineering company KCJ Engineering Sdn Bhd initially failed a technical assessment due to poor work performance and ongoing problematic projects, prior to being awarded a road construction project under the Jana Wibawa program. KCJ Engineering was awarded the road construction project to link Felda Bukit Jalor to Gemas, Negri Sembilan through direct negotiations post a review, following which they met all necessary conditions.
Rosni Mohd Yusoff, the secretary of the Finance Ministry's Government Procurement Division, testified that KCJ Engineering had failed a preliminary assessment when he chaired the Contractors Assessment Committee meeting. Rosni, who was the MoF's Government Investment Companies Division secretary at the time, conducted an assessment based on Jana Wibawa's terms of reference.
The company passed the mandatory conditions and financial capability stages, but failed the technical stage, decided by the committee on December 15, 2020. The Contractors Assessment Committee recommended KCJ Engineering for the project after a review, as the company met all criteria after additional information was provided by the Prime Minister's Office. The company was awarded the RM62 million project following negotiations.
