The World Bank Group announced the 29-month debarment, with conditional release, of African Consulting Surveyors and its managing director, Willem Jan Timmerman. The sanction relates to fraudulent and collusive practices in the Mozambique Land Administration Project (Terra Segura).
This is an administrative debarment by the World Bank Group, not a criminal conviction or settlement. The notice provides no further detail on the conduct or the applicable law.
The case highlights the need for effective controls over integrity risks in project delivery and contracting relationships. Organisations participating in development-financed projects should maintain clear, auditable safeguards against fraud and collusion.
