Hwende rebuked some Members of Parliament for defending the fraudulent laptops tender !!

Hon Temba Mliswa has also attacked some members of Parliament who have been justifying the Purpose of 9000usd each laptop by Clerk of Parliament Mr Kennedy Chokuda.

Honorable Mliswa pointed out that the legislation position has little income from it and in order to get favors from the Clerk of Parliament Kennedy Chokuda, some MPs allegedly defended National Assembly staffers who awarded laptop tenders to dubious companies Blinart Investments and Mid-End Computers and Hardware before they were blacklisted by Treasury.

Parliament has since canceled the tenders awarded to the shadowy company Blinart Investments after the company tried to dupe the National Assembly of US$1,602,755. 77 in a deal to supply laptops at USD$9200 each.

Another tender for the supply of 79 desktop computers at US$3 076.61 amounting to US$243 052,36 which was awarded to Mid-End Computers and Hardware, believed to be owned by one Saul Nyakudya, was also canceled.

This comes after Secretary for Finance and Economic Development, George Guvamatanga two weeks ago released a report saying that the treasury had rejected the deal awarded to the two controversial companies.

On Monday, the Public Accounts Committee met to take a look into how and why the Parliament had allowed such deals in the first place.
