Chairperson, Parliament and the taxpayers of South Africa have once again been defrauded. I have information that serious fraud, theft and corruption have been committed by senior officials of Parliament and other individuals with the awarding and implementation of the access control and the security system of Parliament.
At the centre of this row is a company called ASAP - African Strategic Asset Protection (Pty) Limited.
For purposes of this contract, 67% of the shares in this company were transferred to Thobile Mtwazi, the late husband of the hon ANC MP, Ncumisa Kondlo, who subsequently became the intestate beneficiary of 67% controlling shares in ASAP.
Parliament has been overcharged on a continuous basis, while grey, imported equipment of inferior quality was sold to Parliament.
Die Parlement is uitgebuit op deurlopende basis terwyl grys produkte van swak kwaliteit ingevoer en aan die Parlement verkoop is. [Parliament has been exploited on a continuous basis while grey products of poor quality were imported and sold to Parliament.] Subsequently, ASAP has been involved in a further contract with a number of other institutions.
The FF Plus is going to request the Public Protector, as well as the Scorpions, to investigate each and every contract of this company and all of its subsidiaries that deal with taxpayers' money. I thank you, Chairperson.
