It must be noted that Government has been supplying rice to security sector personnel as a form of addressing a very critical welfare need and a boost to their morale.
The issue of the supply of rice to the security sector has been categorized to have political and security implications because untimely and poor quality rice supply reflects negatively on performances of personnel.
Contract for the supply of rice to the Police Force was awarded to Bella Trading Company SL Ltd owned and controlled by a successful business tycoon ,Ahmed H Hashim, commonly known as VIP, who doubles as the Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of VIP Group of Companies.
