TOKOLOGO MUNICIPALITY SIU INVESTIGATION @KASIBC_AFRICA 

@KASIBC_AFRICA ONLINE EDITOR 

The Democratic Alliance (DA) in Tokologo will table a motion to overhaul the municipality’s Supply Chain Management (SCM) policy after a Special Investigating Unit (SIU) probe was hampered by missing procurement records.

The SIU was mandated to investigate the irregular procurement of 15 High-Mass Lights and the electrification of New Stance Settlement (Mamantelekile) in Boshof, but found that key documents had either gone missing or were deliberately destroyed.

It should be overhauled to prevent the irregular appointments of service providers, especially those that are appointed on an emergency basis without following the due processes of the normal SCM.

The investigation by the SIU revealed that all procurement documents related to the procurement of these 15 High Mass Lights could not be found, as they were either lost or intentionally destroyed to conceal information. The municipal manager opened the theft case at the time, but it yielded no results as the investigation grew cold and investigators were unable to find any leads.

The municipality must, therefore, develop and implement an official policy regarding records management in response to this. Additionally, establish a records department to safeguard all municipal documents, particularly those related to Supply Chain Management, thereby preventing the loss of essential documents in the future.

The municipal manager must take reasonable steps to ensure that complete and accurate records of the municipality's financial affairs are maintained by all prescribed norms and standards.
