A new ministerial committee will look at all corruption allegations to help law enforcement agencies, and the information will be made public

Premiers and ministers will have to provide information about tenders awarded during SA’s state of disaster to a committee of ministers appointed to look into allegations of corruption, the presidency said on Thursday.

“The cabinet’s decision reinforces the determination of the president, expressed in a national address on July 23 2020, that there should be no theft, no wastage and no mismanagement of public funds as the country fights Covid-19,” the presidency said. This has seen both the president’s spokesperson Khusela Diko, and Gauteng health MEC Bandile Masuku take a leave of absence pending investigations by the Special Investigating Unit .

Lamola said all government departments will also be expected to submit their procurement contracts awarded during this period to the ministerial team to be published and made accessible to the public.
