After FF Plus insistence, PP investigates exorbitant amount spent on sanitizing Gauteng schools
18 February 2021
The FF Plus welcomes the decision of the Public Protector (PP) to investigate the Gauteng Department of Education for spending R431 million on sanitizing schools in the province.
The FF Plus lodged a complaint with the PP against the Department of Education at the end of January.
The Department of Education spent the staggering amount of money on sanitizing schools in just three short months – June to August 2020.
In November last year, the FF Plus voiced its concern after it came to light that the Department spent R98 million on this in September alone.
