Gauteng e-Government department a law unto themselves, spends R104m on outsourcing cyber security contract
5 April 2020
The Democratic Alliance (DA) in Gauteng is not surprised to learn that the Department of e-Government has now spent over R104 million on outsourcing its cyber security contract.
Last year, the DA raised concerns that SITA is delaying the implementation of the department’s ICT infrastructure.
This meant that the department had to appoint an outside service provider to provide cyber security.
This delay in the implementation of the ICT infrastructure has led to the department’s irregular expenditure over the last five financial years.
