The Special Investigating Unit wants to have Treasury's contract with tech firm Oracle to modernise the state's IT systems reviewed and set aside.
After eight years and R822 million spent on licence fees and maintenance, all the government has to show for its plan to digitise the state's human resource and supply chain systems is a single"prototype" computer in Pietermaritzburg.
In 2015, the Treasury issued a contract to US giant Oracle to overhaul the government's outdated and clunky financial management systems.
