The IFP has condemned dozens of civil servants employed by the KwaZulu-Natal provincial government who do business with their own or other departments without declaring interest.
"Such practices fly in the face of the notion of an open, accountable and transparent government and those who are guilty of them must be penalised," said IFP KwaZulu-Natal spokesperson on finance and public accounts Dr Lionel Mtshali.
The IFP has reacted to the findings of the Auditor-General who has reported on business civil servants conduct with their own or other government departments in the province but refrained from naming the culprits who have not declared their interest.
"The IFP policy in this regard is clear: name, shame and discipline those who are serving in government and the civil service for personal gain," said Dr Mtshali.
The IFP maintains that South African legislation allowing civil servants to do business with government as long as they declare interest is lenient. "Many other countries disqualify civil servants from public tendering processes citing conflict of interest and unfair advantage," said Dr Mtshali.
