MoE closes down Student Placement Division

Minister Pelonomi Venson-Moitoi told Parliament yesterday that the DCEC commenced investigations last year and has found incidences of fraud, major weaknesses in systems as well as unprofessional practices. "These findings reveal very serious system weaknesses and flaws which in turn create an opportunistic environment for manipulation and fraud. These therefore necessitate further investigations to ascertain whether or not malpractice and fraud has occurred," she told Parliament.

She stated that government had put in place interim measures to counter these activities but it was all in vain due to some officers who seem so determined to enrich themselves through the fraudulent route.
