NATIONAL NEWS - Parliament’s Public Enterprises Committee has been urged to put Eskom’s finances under the microscope when its inquiry into the power utility gets underway.
The SA Council of Churches, lobby group Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (Outa) and the university-based State Capacity Research Project briefed the committee on Tuesday on their research into and findings on state capture.
The parliamentary inquiry initially was to focus on Eskom’s controversial reappointment of Brian Molefe as CEO.
But since the revelations of the leaked Gupta emails, it’s been broadened to scrutinise the state-owned company’s governance and procurement.
Outa’s Ted Blom, a former long-serving Eskom employee, highlighted Eskom’s irregular expenditure of R3 billion, revealed last week in its latest annual financial statements.
