Concerns Over Contract Awards
The video highlights concerns about the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) allegedly favoring certain contractors in the procurement of food preparation and service contracts for airport passengers. These allegations have fueled public skepticism and raised questions about the transparency of such dealings.
Recurring Food Quality and Hygiene Issues
