Kweneng District Council chairperson Jeffrey Sibisibi has dismissed allegations that the council, under dubious terms has awarded tenders to his companies.

This follows accusations by fellow councillors and some members of the public that Sibisibi’s business was favoured to get a tender from the council. Sources claim that Sibisibi’s filling station, trading as Engen Molepolole Filling Station was given a tender to supply fuel to the council and sub councils.

It is said that this happened after the initial company, which was awarded a tender by the council to supply fuel failed to honour the agreement. Sources say that it is then that the council made a decision to terminate that contract and engage Sibisibi’s fuel station as a rescue party on a contract of two-and-half years to end in 2019. It is said that the council chairperson’s filling station was handpicked without tendering and procurement processes being followed.
