DA plan to prevent corruption with state of disaster declaration on loadshedding crisis
1 February 2023
With Cabinet scheduled to deliberate and take a decision on the proposed declaration of a State of Disaster (SoD) on the loadshedding crisis, the DA is taking practical steps to ensure that such a declaration has in-built safeguards to prevent executive overreach and stop corruption.
To prevent the feeding frenzy that characterized PPE procurement by ANC cadres and their families during the Covid-19 SoD, the DA will fight to ensure that any SoD on the loadshedding crisis is actively monitored through a:
Special Inspector-General to prevent the looting of any emergency funding that may be set aside to address the crisis;
Live and public National Treasury record that will track all tenders, procurement contracts and successful bidders;
