ISebe lezeMfundo eMpumalanga likhuphe ngaphezu kwezigidi ezibini zeerandi ukuze lithengele abasebenzi balo abangamashumi amabini anesibini ii-laptops ezintsha, uMphathiswa wezeMfundo kweli phondo, uLandulile Cathrine Dlamini, utshilo.
UDlamini ebephendula kwiseshoni yemibuzo neempendulo kwiNdlu yoWiso-mthetho yephondo kule veki kwaye uthe ii-laptops ezintsha zibiza i-R91,482.50 inye. Nangona kunjalo, isixa-mali sisonke sifike kwizigidi ezibini ezingamashumi amabini amawaka anamakhulu asibhozo anamashumi asibhozo anesithathu eerandi (R2,020,883.45).
Nanjengoko umbuzo ophuma kwilungu lePalamente ye-EFF uNtsako Precious Mkhabela ucebisa ukuba uDlamini ufumene enye yee-laptop, uMphathiswa uye wacacisa ukuba akanguye omnye wabaxhamli kwintengo.
UDlamini uthi ebesasebenzisa i-laptop esetyenzisiweyo awayeyinikwe ngethuba wayengena kweli sebe ngoJulayi ka-2024. Amalungu ePalamente ngoko nangoko abuze uDlamini ukuba zeziphi ii-laptops kwaye yeyiphi i-software efakwe kuzo enokuchaza iindleko eziphezulu.
UDlamini akakwazanga ukuphendula nayiphi na imibuzo kule mibuzo, wathembisa ukuba uzakuphendula ngembalelwano. Kananjalo isebe alikachazi ukuba ngubani umboneleli okanye ngubani kanye kanye osebenzisa ii-laptops. Ephendula le mibuzo, uDlamini udize kuphela ukuba iikhompyutha zithengelwe abasebenzi abasezi-ofisini neenqununu zezikolo.
Oku kubhengezwa kukuphendula kwizityholo zokuba isebe alikhange liyihoye imigaqo yeYunithi yoLawulo lweProjekthi (PMU) xa likhangela ii-laptops.
IMpendulo kaDlamini ikwabonisa ukuba esinye isizathu sokuba oomatshini babenokubiza kakhulu kukuba babethengwa kwi-Arhente ye-IT kaRhulumente (SITA).
“Isebe alikhange lizijongele phantsi iinkqubo ze-PMU.”
“Abaxhamli ngabalawuli nabaphathi bezikolo, abasebenzisa ezi nkqubo kwiinkqubo zolawulo hayi ukufundisa nokufunda.”
I-Arhente yezobuChwepheshe boLwazi loMbuso (i-SITA) ijongene nokugxekwa ngamasebe karhulumente, aquka iMicimbi yezeKhaya kunye neNkqubo yezobulungisa, ngonikezelo lweenkonzo olulambathayo.
UMphathiswa wezoNxibelelwano uSolly Malatsi ucebisa ukuba kuhlonyelwe imigaqo ye-SITA, ukuvumela amasebe amancinane ukuba azithengele izixhobo neenkonzo ze-IT zawo, ngelixa i-SITA igxile kumasebe amakhulu.
Nangona kunjalo, uKhusela Diko, usihlalo wekomiti yePalamente yeSebe lezoNxibelelwano kunye nobuxhakaxhaka bedijithali, usichasile esi sicwangciso, echaza imida yomthetho we-SITA.
UDiko uthe kukho ezinye izisombululo ezininzi zokuzisa uzinzo kwiSITA, ezinjengokunyula ibhodi entsha kunye neqela lesigqeba ukunceda uMphathiswa afezekise iinjongo zakhe. Ukwacebise ukwenziwa kwenkqubo yokuthenga, ethe yacetywa okokuqala ngexesha lolawulo lwesihlanu loMzantsi Afrika.
“Nangona kunjalo, uMalatsi akajongi ukwenza nenye kwezo zinto, endaweni yoko, ukhethe ukuyikhubaza inkqubo endaweni yokomeleza,” utshilo uDiko.
“Kwakukho isizathu esilungileyo sokuba i-SITA isikwe kanye ekuqaleni, kwaye oko yayikukuqinisekisa ukuba iqhuba ukwenziwa kwedijithali kwenkonzo yoluntu, ekugqibeleni inceda abemi,” uqhubeke watsho.
“Umgangatho uqinisekisa ukupheliswa kokuphindaphinda kunye nokusebenzisana kweenkqubo zethu, kodwa umphathiswa akabonakali enomdla wokwenza nayiphi na kwezi.”
