BDP tenderpreneur, CDC engineer face corruption, money laundering charges

Although the Directorate on Corruption and Economic Crime (DCEC) spokesperson, Phakamile Kraai was cagey with details this week, Mmegi investigations have revealed that since corruption is a two-way process, the duo face charges.“At the DCEC, we are not in the habit of giving away information of that nature. In a nutshell, I can’t share the preferred charges with you for this freshly investigated matter,” was all Kraai could say.

 Our source had intimated that DCEC investigations have revealed that a public officer in the matter has allegedly accepted a bribe that influenced his decision-making whilst on the other hand, a person that had tendered for the works had allegedly bribed a public officer to allegedly get a favour in return. Money laundering charges have also been preferred.
