Introductory remarks by Minister Mosibudi Mangena, at the official launch of the International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB)
As Auditor-General Shauket Fakie defended the final report of the
arms deal investigation before Parliament on Wednesday, a new
allegation emerged of irregularities in the awarding of
sub-contracts.
Auditor-General Shauket Fakie yesterday hit back at claims of
editing and omissions in the final report of the arms deal probe,
labelling them unfounded and, at times, biased.
The controversial multi-billion rand arms deal, at the forefront of
MPs' working lives for more than a year until the end of 2001,
seems to be firmly back in the parliamentary spotlight.
President Thabo Mbeki hit back yesterday at those he branded
"fishers of corrupt men", who were intent on using unfounded
allegations to stereotype black Africans.
The financial management of government departments and provinces is
improving, but a lack of internal controls remains a source of
concern, Auditor General Shauket Fakie said on Wednesday.
