Subcontracting: Miguel Kashal’s allies challenge Ted Beleshayi to publish list of “ineligible” companies

Miguel Kashal Katemb’s communications team is asking ARSP Director General Ted Beleshayi to publish the names of companies that allegedly received $20 billion in subcontracting contracts improperly, according to remarks he made during a live X Space on October 20. It also wants the identities of the main contractors and subcontractors involved so the public can assess the evidence. The former director’s associates reject the allegation that the ARSP operated as a racketeering group under Kashal, saying no extortion was tolerated and that inspectors followed ethical and professional standards. They note that Kashal did not publicly accuse his predecessor, Ahmed Kalej Kand, when he took office in 2022, and call on Beleshayi to show restraint and ensure continuity in public service.
