Finance minister Tito Mboweni and Treasury officials will be called to give an account to Parliament’s two finance committees next week
Finance minister Tito Mboweni and Treasury officials are to be called before Parliament’s two finance committees next week to brief MPs on the government's procurement of personal protective equipment , which has been plagued by allegations of corruption.
Standing committee on finance chair Joe Maswanganyi noted at a meeting of the two committees on Tuesday that people were losing jobs while others were amassing wealth at the expense of the country. This had caused public outrage and had to be investigated. Parliament could not wait, he added for the auditor-general and the Special Investigating Unit to finalise their investigations.
