Former Mineral Resources, Green Technology and Energy Security minister, Saqidue Kebonang has been summoned to appear tomorrow before the parliament's Public Accounts Committee to answer for his role in the P230 million National Petroleum Fund (NPF) scandal.

The ministry’s former permanent secretary, Obolokile Obakeng told the PAC earlier today that Kebonang placed considerable pressure on him to approve DIS director, Isaac Kgosi’s request to change the purpose for which his department had taken P230 million from the NPF last August.

Obakeng was last week demoted to deputy permanent secretary in the Ministry of Land Management, Water and Sanitation Services.
