Question NW3321 to the Minister of Tourism
21 October 2022 - NW3321
Winkler, Ms HS to ask the Minister of Tourism
In terms of the forensic investigation into the business-to-business and business-to-consumer portal supplier, what is the nature of the consequence management meted out to the executives who were implicated?
Reply:
Upon conclusion of the forensic investigation, the Board identified individuals implicated in the report and investigation. In line with the organisations’ internal processes as well as Disciplinary Code and Procedure, the Board and respective line managers wrote to the implicated parties who then had to submit representations in response to the allegations levelled against them as per the forensic investigation report.
Allegations against all implicated parties were done on a case-by-case basis where each individual had to submit their representations on their part in the matter. Representations were considered on an individual basis based on the severity of the allegations and level of involvement in the matter.
Once representations were received, consequence management action was effected on some officials and continuing with respect to others.
