Fraud scandal renders Gabs Mayor 'unfit for duty'

According to the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Board (PPDAB) circular No7 of 2021, Abraham and his business associates through their company attempted to 'cheat the system' and 'lied' to be awarded a tender.

“The board at its sitting of March 25, 2021, found thus against the contractor having been found guilty on February 18, 2021, for submitting false information to PPADB in support of its application for registration with regard to past projects carried out in contravention of Clause 4.1 of the Code of Conduct for Contractors and having been accorded an opportunity to make submissions in mitigation before sentencing,” reads the letter.
