Parliament’s Standing Committee on Public Accounts (Scopa) wants monthly reports on the investigation into the R475 million paid to Telkom without a contract in place.
It wants an update to the first report submitted by 18 April.
The statement from the Parliamentary Communication Services does not elaborate on what the agreement was for.
It notes that ‘another illegal agreement without a contract that Scopa will be scrutinizing closely is with a company called Digicore, which has an agreement with the State Information Technology Agency (Sita) to provide automated vehicle location services to SAPS’.
This illegal agreement had been in place since 2010, when the original contract expired. SAPS was paying an estimated R3.6 million a month to Sita for this service.
‘Scopa will request a schedule of all Sita contracts with SAPS, as well as the status of those contracts. This is to enable Scopa to engage with both parties regarding the control, environment and contract management of all services rendered to SAPS by Sita.’
Finally, Scopa wants a report on ‘the circumstances that have allowed Major-General Dladla to remain at work with no suspension, even though she is implicated in eight cases currently under investigation, while other implicated persons are on suspension’.
