Gaolathe in P403 million gaffe?

Answering a question from Tswapong North MP, Thebe Mogami on the number of government projects allocated under the new direct appointment system of sourcing consultancy services, the minister indicated that 33 projects were awarded by eight ministries. He put the value of the projects at P403 million.

However industry officials maintain that the said projects have not been awarded. "I believe the minister was misled into thinking that these projects have been awarded. They have not been awarded, all 34 of them," says Jubilee Mokgosi a member of the BOCCIM project allocation committee, a body which played a role in the development of the system.
