Contractor at loggerheads over P4.8m invoice

Palalani has written to Attorney General (AG) calling for his intervention. On the other hand, the ministry acknowledges there being outstanding payments, and partly blames the contractor for submitting ‘dishonest claims’.

In his letter to AG, Abraham Keetshabe, Palalani quotes four projects which he said payments for consultancy are still outstanding as far back as 2020. The first is Maitengwe police station project invoice dated December 8, 2020 in the amount of P1,008,466.95. He states that the invoice remains unpaid with no explanation from government.
