NewsBY IREM KOCA

With billions on the line and a track record of failed targets, how PSPC plans to deliver on its goals is unclear from its recent departmental plan. 'Fact is, if the department can’t meet the expectations of delivery for this new government, then heads will roll,' says Sahir Khan.
