Clarke, Ms M to ask the Minister of Health
(1)What (a) involvement did a certain person (name furnished) have in the Oracle tender in Ekurhuleni and (b) was the outcome of the tender; (2) what (a) links did the specified person have with the Gupta linked Mediosa contract and (b) was the outcome of the specified tender?
Reply:
(1) The Department of Health can confirm that the Oracle tender in Ekurhuleni, does not relate to processes undertaken by the Department hence we are unable to clarify the involvement of the specified person and the outcome of that tender process.
(2) (a) The Gupta-linked Mediosa contract has been thoroughly investigated by the Klerksdorp Serious Commercial Crimes Unit (SCCU) and the person implicated is currently on trial before the Mahikeng High Court. The SCCU investigation did not implicate Dr Masike.
(b) The contract that North West Department of Health entered into with Mediosa was terminated in February 2018.
END.
