BusinessLive reports that the Public Service Commission (PSC) on Tuesday said it found no evidence to support allegations of corruption against the acting CEO of the Government Printing Works (GPW), Alinah Fosi.  

The GPW falls under the Department of Home Affairs and undertakes printing on behalf of government departments.  The allegations against Fosi were made by a former employee who alleged that in October 2019 the acting CEO had instructed him to act in a corrupt way in the irregular appointment of a service provider to facilitate a strategic planning session of the GPW.  Fosi denied the allegations of corruption saying that they were made by a “bitter” dismissed former employee who had served as director of supply chain management.  Fosi acknowledged there had been irregularities in procurement and told the PSC that she had taken remedial action to address the internal control weaknesses.  The PSC report said that “during the investigation, there was no evidence presented to the PSC suggesting that there was corruption on the part of Fosi.”  The GPW’s report was submitted to parliament’s home affairs committee on Tuesday.  But, opposition MPs argued that the PSC investigation did not go far enough and that further investigation was required.
