ACDP QUESTIONS THE INVOLVEMENT OF COUNCILLORS IN COMPANIES WHICH RECEIVED TENDERS FROM COUNCIL

On the 5th of August 2004, councillor Richard Dinklemann submitted a set of questions to the Executive Mayor of Tshwane requesting information on the involvement of councillors in Companies which were awarded tenders by council.

According to the applicable section of Standing Orders of Council, questions submitted to the Mayor in terms of the section, must be answered at the next ordinary meeting of Council.  However the Mayor did not answer these questions at the meeting in August.  Neither did he in the meeting of September, October or November.

According to the Administration, these questions will answered in a report form early in 2005.  It makes one wonder if the ANC has something to hide perhaps.

Here are the questions:

1. Which past and currently sitting Tshwane Metro Councillors have concluded business or contracts with the CTMM between January 2000 and the end of August 2004 with their own registered Company or Close Corporation or one in which they have a shareholding interest?
    

2. In each Councillor's case, what were the names of the Companies or Close Corporations involved?
    

3. In each Councillor's case, was the interest of the Councillor declared?
    

4. In each Councillor's case, did the Councillor recuse him or herself during deliberations on said contracts, if applicable?
    

5.  In each Company or Close Corporation's case, how many contracts were concluded, on what dates, for which services, and at what value?

Watch this space for the answers!
