The Office of the Chief Justice has started reviewing its supply chain management processes.
In a statement on Friday evening it said the review in all its SCM processes was being done to ensure ways are found to enhance its technical capacity to further strengthen internal controls in the SCM area. It added the OCJ takes seriously its fiduciary duty to manage and protect state resources entrusted to it.
The newspaper reported that three top officials are accused of corruptly setting themselves up for a large slice of the contract after they played a role in scoring the deal. The three accused are former CFO Casper Coetzer, former spokesperson and Chief Director of court administration Nathi Mncube and former case management director Yvonne van Niekerk.
