The Gauteng government says it will respond to the report of the provinces Ethics Advisory Council in two weeks time.
According to the State of Integrity and Anti-Corruption report , nearly four out of ten, or 37, of senior provincial government officials have failed their lifestyle audits.
The council released the report this week. Gauteng government spokesperson Vuyo Mhaga says, The ethics advisory council, which is really led by prominent people like Dr Terence Nombembe, Thuli Madonsela, and you know, Zola Majavu. These are prominent independent South Africans that have been in the forefront of fighting corruption. This is the second report. The first report was to do a lifestyle audit of us as the executive committee, meaning the MECs and the Premier, and then go down to HODs, which are the accounting officers. We even then said, Go further go look at the supply chain management around that. So, we are quite happy that the council is doing work. There is no other province that does that.
