Health PC MP's are flabbergasted by the briefing they just got from the office of the AG, on the financial management of govts Covid-19 initiatives. Essentially, proper procedures and spending was flouted by provinces, in procurement of PPEs. #sabcnews

But those who are meant to account for these financial losses are not present in the meeting. The committee wants the presentation redone, in the presence of the Minister and all those involved. #sabcnews

Some MP's are calling for this information to be handed over to law enforcement agencies. #sabcnews

MP's are using words like "depressing, sad, shock, disgusted, mind-blowing, insulting..." #sabcnews

Contracts were awarded to non tax compliant companies, PPEs were not stored properly. PPEs were below standard, yet they were procured at prices higher than instructed by National Treasury. #sabcnews

One MP says with the Covid-19 death rate, specifically those of health workers whose lives depended on PPEs, this is a matter of attempted murder. #sabcnews
