Randall Williams must, according to Lebogang Maile, also provide him with reasons why he should not launch an investigation against him.
Tshwane mayor Randall Williams has come under fire over allegations that he attempted to flout municipal procurement processes by pushing for a contract to refurbish two of the city’s aged power stations, at a cost of R26bn, to be awarded without going on public tender. File photo.Gauteng human settlements and co-operative governance and traditional affairs MEC Lebogang Maile has asked City of Tshwane mayor Randall Williams to respond to allegations of impropriety levelled against him.
The contract would see the city entering into a 30-year contract with Kratos Energy to refurbish and maintain the Rooiwal and the Pretoria West power substations, which have been out of service since 2014. It is envisioned the deal could supply the city with 800MW of power and help it avoid Eskom load-shedding.
The ANC said the recording proved Williams had issued illegal and irregular instructions to city officials and had interfered in the procurement processes.
