Education Minister Monica Anisie asks Prime Minister Ludovic Orban to sack the president of the National Centralized Procurement Office (ONAC), Cornelia Nagy, after learning about the "disappointing" result of the tender for the purchase of internet-connected tablets for students.
Under these circumstances, Minister Monica Anisie considers that "the disastrous outcome of the tender, after so many months during which all the institutions involved, except for ONAC, have put in efforts for the procedure to be completed on time, is unacceptable".
"Those who will stand to suffer from the incompetence of the ONAC officials are the students, teachers and parents. For these reasons, I am asking the Prime Minister of Romania, Mr. Ludovic Orban, to dismiss the president of ONAC, Cornelia Nagy, and wish to resume the tender procedures as a matter of urgency," Anisie said.
PM Orban announced on Sunday evening that only 70 - 80,000 student tables of the promised 250,000 can be purchased until the beginning of the school year, as the authorities found that the tender conducted by ONAC is far from being completed.
