Joe’s Electrical, a company belonging to Joseph Peloetletse, the husband of Permanent Secretary to the President (PSP), Emma Peloetletse, was recently the subject of a debate in Parliament when a question was asked about its involvement in government tenders.

Peloetletse (Joseph) was previously rocked by reports that he is using his wife’s influence to secure lucrative government tenders, and this week, Tswapong South legislator Dr Kesitegile Gobotswang questioned the ‘conflicts of interest’ in awarding government tenders to Joe Electrical.

Gobotswang wanted to know the total number of public projects that Joe’s Electrical is involved in, and the projects where Joe’s Electrical has benefited via direct appointment, and whether there were no other qualified companies that could have benefited in the same way.
