OUTA calls for implementation of audits across govt departments – SABC News

The Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (OUTA) has called for the implementation of conflict of interest audits across government departments.

This comes amid the arrest of the head of Crime Intelligence Dumisani Khumalo and other senior officials.

Khumalo and his co-accused are facing charges of fraud and corruption relating to the appointment of Dineo Mokwele as the technical support system manager last year.

Six of the accused have been granted bail of R10 000 each by the Pretoria Magistrates Court, while a seventh accused, who has another pending case, was denied bail.

OUTA’s Wayne Duvenage says, “Some of the work that we’ve seen is that far too many people who work inside government departments. They and their family members do business with those same government departments. It’s absolutely rotten to hear and see the type of stuff that we’ve seen, and I think it’s time that the President and Treasury got together and sat down with all sectors of the criminal justice system and put the systems in place.”
