NORTHERN CAPE – in the ongoing fight against corruption within the government departments, a 54 year old Acting Head of the Department of Health is expected to appear before Kimberley Regional Court today facing charges of the contravention of the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA).
It is alleged that during March 2014, Acting Head of the Department signed three lease agreements with JP Hugo residence for nursing accommodation without following normal procurement processes. The total cost of these lease agreements is approximately R96 million.
Thorough investigation by the Hawks Serious Corruption Investigation led to the arrest. The Provincial Head of Northern Cape Hawks lauded the members and indicated that even though such investigation prove to be complicated, his members will ensure that the law triumphs in the end.
