In an exchange of letters with National Treasury (NT), Corruption Watch (CW) has raised its concerns about the threat of corruption risks in the procurement and distribution of Covid-19 vaccines in South Africa.  In a bid to avoid the levels of corruption that erupted in the procurement of PPEs, the organisation laid out a number of questions to NT on crucial aspects of emergency procurement that are enabled under the National State of Disaster. The areas of primary concern are the urgency in saving lives through administration of the vaccine, and the public finance and governance aspects that allow for transparency and public disclosure. →
