NORTH WEST – A 44-year-old former Technical Services Director of the Lekwa-Teemane Local Municipality was served with a subpoena to appear in court for alleged contravention of Section 171(3) read with Section 77 and 78 of the Municipal Finance Management Act.
In May 2014, the former Director allegedly singlehandedly took on supply chain processes by sourcing quotations and invoices from service providers, then went further to recommend and approve payments for his office furniture.
