07 June 2016 - NW965
Hadebe, Mr TZ to ask the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs
Whether, since his reply to oral question 123 on 15 September 2014, he has taken any action to further investigate the findings of the Pikoli report, released in March 2013, into corruption in the Integrated Public Transport Plan in the Nelson Mandela Bay Metropolitan Municipality; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
The response below was provided by the municipality:
The Pikoli report was considered by Counsel (Adv Ronassen), who provided legal opinion to the effect that the report was nothing else but a precursor to a full scale investigation. In light of the above, the full scale investigation is currently being conducted by the National Treasury.
