STATEMENT ON ESKOM CONTRACTS
The National Treasury is surprised by media reports of Tegeta "warning" and threatening to interdict the department should it release a report into its investigation of Eskom's coal.
National Treasury has also noted with concern the statement issued by Eskom on Sunday 28 August 2016 suggesting that has been co-operating with the process of reviews of the coal contracts. The National Treasury would like to categorically state that, its efforts have met resistance.
Since April, the National Treasury has made several attempts to get information from Eskom including:
- Sending a report to the Eskom Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Brian Molefe and the Chairperson of the Board Ben Ngubane and a request for comment on it.
- Granting an extension that Eskom requested to provide the comments.
