Eskom seeks exemption from nuke procurement regulations - DA

[IdlePhaedrus]

The DA has been reliably informed that Eskom has applied to the National Treasury Chief Procurement Officer (CPO), Schalk Human, for an exemption from the Standard for Infrastructure Procurement and Delivery Management (SIPDM) – the prescribed procurement standard applicable to the nuclear acquisition.

Yeah, just wait until the ANC asks for exemption from the Constitution.... :crylaugh: ANC is going to ANC

What is SIPDM?

The SIPDM establishes control frameworks for the planning, design and execution of infrastructure projects and infrastructure procurement; requirements for a number of matters as applied to the supply chain management system for infrastructure procurement and delivery management; and minimum requirements for infrastructure procurement.

Hey why do it under the covers if you can get legal backing to ignore procedures, ffs.

Where can I sign my objections?

Schalk Human seems like a good fellow, and has been at the Treasury since 2008 as far as I can see.

Unfortunately I expect he probably has to say yes or lose his job. Interesting development.
