Ramaphosa authorises SIU to investigate corruption in North West roads dept
The Special Investigating Unit (SIU) has been given the go-ahead by President Cyril Ramaphosa to investigate corruption, malpractice and maladministration in the North West Department of Public Works and Roads and to recover any financial losses suffered by the department.
Ramaphosa recently signed a Proclamation authorising the SIU to look into transactions which took place between 2016 and March 12, 2021.
The investigation will focus on the contracting of services relating to project management for the Transport Infrastructure Directorate of the Department, the rehabilitation of flood-damaged roads infrastructure in the province, and the installation of perimeter fencing at the Eagle Waters Wildlife Resort, and related payments.
Any related unauthorised, irregular or fruitless and wasteful expenditure incurred by the Department or the State will also be scrutinised.
The SIU will exercise all its legislative powers to subpoena, search and seize evidence, as well as interrogate witnesses under oath during the investigation.
