Question NW774 to the Minister of Public Enterprises
24 April 2017 - NW774
Mazzone, Ms NW to ask the Minister of Public Enterprises
With reference to her reply to question 121 on 28 February 2017, on what basis are the minutes of each meeting of the Transnet Board, where the decision was taken to award the specified contracts, considered commercially sensitive?
Reply:
Protection of proprietary rights is a key consideration in Transnet SOC Ltd’s dealing with potential and current suppliers. Transnet is not at liberty to divulge the details of commercially sensitive information belonging to parties we are contracting without written consent. This includes details such as pricing strategies.
Further, I am satisfied that sufficient information was provided and responded to in detail in the response to Parliamentary Question 121.
