Untruths about Eskom investigation make red lights flicker
2 June 2015
An investigation by the FF Plus has revealed that the FF Plus has received contradictory information regarding Dentons, the legal firm which had received R22 million to undertake an investigation into Eskom within three months.
Adv. Anton Alberts, the FF Plus’ parliamentary spokesperson on Energy, says he has already expressed his doubts regarding the fact that the investigation, which would require underlying applicable technical and engineering knowledge as well as financial expertise, will be done by a legal firm.
In one of many questions about the investigation that Adv. Alberts had asked the minister of public enterprises, Lynne Brown, on 20 March of this year and through which he attempted to establish the impartiality of the investigation, the minister denied that the company had any prior existing relationship with Eskom.
On Dentons’ website however, the company openly boasts that it had done work for Eskom previously (see extracts below).
