The Duty of a Chatered Procurer/Procurement Specialist as an expert witness in court

[PPTP Group,Nigeria.]

The duty of a Chatered Procurer/Procurement Specialist as an expert
witness in court is to furnish the judge with the necessary scientific
criteria for testing the accuracy of his conclusions so as to enable
the judge to form its own independent opinion and make his/her
judgment by the application of the criteria to the facts proved in
evidence. It is therefore not enough for a Chatered Procurer/
Procurement Specialist giving testimony as an expert to give a mere
opinion and conclusion and leaving out the criteria upon which such
opinion and conclusion are based. His opinion and conclusions must be
supported by scientific analysis otherwise his evidence will be
valueless.
