THE internal probe of the Department of Health into the awarding of a contract to service provider Digital Vibes has not only found the appointment irregular, but also implicated bid committee members

“The irregularity findings include among others, inconsistencies in the bid committees and lack of disclosure of conflict of interest by some members of the bid committee,” he said.He also said Digital Vibes received requests for work from the department on Covid-19 work, prior to their contract being extended.

Buthelezi said the department needed to wait for the report of the SIU in order to supplement the disciplinary process that is underway, as new information may be presented. Ismail, who also wanted Mkhize summonsed, further asked if any family of Mkhize benefited from the contracts. ANC MP Mxolisa Sokatsha welcomed the update and was pleased that the department was cooperating with the SIU in its investigation.
