“…Therefore, corruption in procurement remains a major administrative challenge in the procurement process in Ghana and Nigeria. Corruption is hard to deal with in the two countries because of its changing nature and its forms of manifestation (Kissi et al , 2019; Williams-Elegbe, 2015), coupled with the associated administrative challenges such as weak enforcement of public procurement laws/policies in Nigeria and Ghana (Jibrin et al , 2014; Ebekozien et al , 2023; Prakasa, 2022; Osei-Tutu et al , 2009; Osei-Tutu et al , 2011).…”

“…A major administrative flaw or challenge identified in Nigeria that affects the attainment of VfM is weak law enforcement, in which the procurement laws are not rigidly enforced; in some cases, the penalties are low and not deterrent. In some instances, there is a collision or connivance between the procurement entities (sub-state actors) and the regulatory authority officials (state actors) on non-enforcement for some private or personal interest in the contracts or tender process, which may profit the officials, as revealed by several studies (Jibrin et al, 2014; JOPP 24,2 Ebekozien et al, 2023;Prakasa, 2022). These are some of the numerous administrative challenges Nigeria is faced with in terms of efforts to attain VfM in procuring goods, services and/or works.…”

“…This occurs when individuals or organizations offer money, gifts, or other benefits to public officials in exchange for preferential treatment, such as awarding contracts, manipulating tender evaluations, or providing confidential information (Rabuzin and Modrušan 2019). Kickbacks, a related form of corruption, involve the payment of a percentage of the contract value to the officials involved in the procurement process (Prakasa, Asis, and Sahid 2022). Corruption can also take the form of collusion or the creation of cartels among suppliers.…”

The aim of study to investigates the role of e-procurement technologies to mitigate corruption within the public procurement sector of Pakistan due to which E-procurement can’t be implemented. It examines the factors that contribute to corruption probability in government procurement process. The implementation of E-Procurement, within the public sector represents a significant transformation in the country's governance which serves as a strategic response to enhance transparency, accountability, and efficiency in public procurement processes. In the design of E-procurement adoption, three primary factors were taken into consideration to address obstacles: Monopoly power; Information asymmetry; Transparency and accountability. A survey was distributed to 232 procurement specialists and government suppliers; the approach chosen involves the distribution of a well-structured closed-ended questionnaire to enable quantitative assessment, utilizing a convenience sampling method. Obtained informed consent from participants that ensure participants understand the purpose, procedures, potential risks, and benefits of the research project and voluntarily agree to participate.  The SPSS software was employed to compile the results of multiple regression models. The findings reveal a substantial 76.9% impact of various variables contributing to adaptation of E-procurement. The result indicates that all three-independent variable: Monopoly power, Information asymmetry, transparency & accountability are creating major resistance in implementation of E-procurement in the government organizations which are the major cause of corruption. This research provides valuable insights into enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of resources within the public sector. As one of the few studies on this topic, it serves as a foundational piece of literature that can guide future research and policymaking endeavors in Pakistan's public procurement landscape. Ultimately, the successful implementation of E-Procurement has the potential to transform how public funds are managed, ensuring greater accountability, transparency, and efficiency in public sector operations.

“…Meanwhile, Black's Law Dictionary defines corruption as "an act done with an intent to give some advantage inconsistent with official duty and the right of others" (Black, 2007). According to Transparency International, corruption is seen as the behavior of public officials, both politicians/politicians and civil servants (Prakasa et al, 2022) (Prakasa et al, 2021), who unfairly and illegally enrich themselves or enrich those close to them by abusing the public power entrusted to them (perpetrators) (Shoim, 2018).…”

The current job transformation is one of the challenges for the state of Indonesia. Crimes over time have been carried out systematically, including corruption. The interesting thing about the development of efforts to combat corruption is the development of the concept of returning state finances. Legal entities in Indonesia have long experienced legal pluralism, as can be seen from the configuration of the community that carries out Islamic criminal law and customary law as local wisdom. This study uses a normative approach with secondary data support with the specification that the confiscation of corruptor's property in Islamic criminal law is divided into: Reproaches and reprimands/warnings, dismissing from his position (al-azl min al-wadzifah), by beating (whipping), punishment in the form of property (fines) and physical punishment, exile, crucifixion, death penalty. The relevance between these concepts is a form of legitimacy for the legal significance that comes from the beliefs and needs of the community. This article raises the concept of positive law with concepts in Islamic criminal law to find the relevance of the two which will later become part of the effort to function Islamic criminal law into Indonesian positive law in order to achieve the goal of a fair law and reduce corruption.
