President Cyril Ramaphosa has authorised the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) to investigate allegations of maladministration in the office of KwaZulu-Natal premier
In a statement on Wednesday, the SIU said the investigation will focus on the appointment of a consultant to support six provincial priority programmes.
The programmes include the Luwamba Wellness Centre project and Operation Sukuma Sakhe projects.
“The investigation will also look to see if there was any unauthorised, irregular, or fruitless and wasteful expenditure incurred by the office of the premier in KZN or losses suffered by the provincial office or the state,” said the SIU.
“Furthermore, the SIU will seek to establish whether there was any irregular, improper or unlawful conduct by the contractors, employees, or officials of the office of the premier and the suppliers, service providers, or any other person or entity.”
