Kweneng District Council (KWDC) has engaged audit consultancy, Deloitte, to help them roll out a whistle-blowing policy intended to root out corruption in the area.

The firm has been roped in on a three-year contract and is mandated with setting up and maintaining an anti-corruption call centre.

During a press briefing held yesterday, council secretary, Wazha Tema, told journalists that Deloitte would play a key role in the establishment of the Tip-Off Anonymous call centre. He noted that the council has in previous years been wracked by corruption, particularly around land allocation, citing that several burning issues continue to dominate newspaper headlines.
