Parastatal boss giving himself, lover tenders

A senior official of a parastatal has had suppliers and contractors up in arms over tenders at the agency.

Grapevine has learned that the man has been awarding nearly all contracts to companies associated with him and his mistress who is a mid-level manager in the organization.

Staffs at the organization are now a dejected lot after the companies awarded the tenders performed poorly and some have already been paid despite doing shoddy jobs.

The director’s girlfriend is also using her proximity to the boss to harass other staff members and threaten them that she will have anyone who defies her fired from the parastatal.

Some of the disgruntled suppliers and contractors are now compelling a dossier which they plan to share with the Ethics and Ant-Corruption Commission.
