MAMPARA OF THE WEEK

Very succintly put - I could not have said it any better myself. Why do we wait for any kind of action on these matters? They should be dealt with timeously and to the harshest extent of the law!

Sick to the very core

Mampara of the week: Lawrence Boya

An Eastern Cape health official is fighting to keep his job because his department cannot account for some R6- billion in its 2005/06 budget.


Its R18.3-billion worth of transactions are littered with “deficiencies” — some of which have no source documents to back them up. And when they’re there, they’re dodgy — like this one: R895 000 was claimed, but the invoice shows only R895.

We’re talking billions here, not millions. And this department boss, Lawrence Boya, is fighting to keep his job? He should be fighting to stay out of jail, such is the Mampara’s appalling criminal neglect of his civic duties.

There have been dark mutterings of the possibility of fraud, collusion and corruption. But why mutter? Let’s have action. Throw Boya in prison at once.
