The Special Investigating Unit (SIU) on Wednesday disclosed that it will probe allegations of maladministration in the Office of the Premier of KwaZulu-Natal (KZN).
The investigation is related to the appointment of a consultant to support the province’s six priority programmes, and the SIU said it was authorised to investigate the office by a proclamation signed by President Cyril Ramaphosa.
“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.
“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,” the unit specified.
The SIU added that the investigation will cover the period between April 2007 and 29 July 2023.
