Western Cape publishes protective equipment procurement report for transparency

The Western Cape provincial government has published a report detailing all personal protective equipment procurement and expenditure in the province, amid a spike in corruption allegations relating to Covid-19 contracts in other provinces.

The graft allegations have prompted the National Treasury to look into the possible centralisation of its procurement. Maynier said the Western Cape has invested large amounts of money on PPE in the fight against Covid-19. “Because we use different supply chain management systems with varying lead and lag times, we hope that this consolidated report will eliminate duplication and discrepancies in reporting.”
