Former Gauteng health department officials Sybil Ngcobo, Mmakgosi Mosupi, Valdis Ramaano and Obakeng Mookeletsi appear in court on Thursday. They face charges of corruption and contravention of the Public Finance Management Act.Two more people will soon join four former Gauteng health department officials who appeared in court on Thursday over allegations of wrongdoing in awarding tenders 11 years ago.
The NPA said that in addition to the two directors, more people were likely to be apprehended in the alleged corruption, which was first probed by the Special Investigating Unit and followed up by the Hawks. Former chief director of information and communications technology Mmakgosi Mosupi, former director of supply chain management Valdis Ramaano and former deputy director-general Obakeng Mookeletsi each appeared on charges of corruption.The criminal investigation by the Hawks, which led to the arrest, followed an investigation by the SIU which probed the procurement of the Health Information System and Electronic Health Records by the department during December 2007.
The charges they face relate to an open tender process for the provision of HIS and e-HR systems which was awarded to the Baoki consortium. Despite this requirement, health department officials did not acquire written authorisations from the Gauteng provincial Treasury. Ngwema said the officials went to add more work to the initial agreement, such as a service of network connectivity to the initial system, costing an additional R233m.
