City Press reported on Sunday that the Gauteng government has been accused of using the cover of the Covid-19 coronavirus to rush through a big information technology contract without proper tender processes.
The contract was won by In2IT Technologies, the sponsor of National First Division side Moroka Swallows.In a statement issued on Monday in response to the article, Nkomo-Ralehoko said she had “noted with concern the report about the alleged irregularities into the appointment of the service provider for the security operations centre” and had “decided to initiate an investigation, and provide a full report to all stakeholders”.
The first initial appointment was for a period of three years, from May 1 2005 to May 31 2008. The bid was awarded to Lefatshe Technologies. The scope of work expanded for a period of two years from November 2008 to November 2011, she said. The irregular expenditure was also raised by the Gauteng provincial legislature finance oversight committee and Standing Committee on Public Accounts.
The sooner we realise that corruption did not have an ' era' in which it thrived, the better we are to fight it (if we have the will to do so).
They must investigate and shame all those who are doing this during an epidemic of covid19. People can't stop corruption unless they are arrested and go to jail for a long time
