Karpowership denies De Ruyter's damning allegations
Multinational company Karpowership wants former Eskom CEO Andre de Ruyter to retract comments he made on news television station eNCA implicating the company in alleged corrupt activities leading to the downfall of the power utility.
In a statement released on Tuesday, the shipbuilder said that the interview made it look like"there was something untoward about the emergency decision taken during Covid-19 to procure enough electricity to enable people on ventilators to be able to breathe"."Karpowership unequivocally and unconditionally denies any allegations of impropriety on its part and rejects and dismisses insinuations of corruption," the company said.
The statements further alluded to De Ruyter misrepresenting the facts when he said that there was no reason for Eskom to enter into a 20-year year agreement with a company that could raise the anchor and sail away with an asset paid for by South Africa.The RMIPPPP followed a substantially similar tender and adjudication process as South Africa’s lauded REIPPPP [ Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme].
