EASTERN CAPE - HAWKS TAKE DOWN EX DEPT OF HEALTH OFFICIAL ON 80 COUNTS OF FRAUD AMOUNTING TO ALMOST R2 MILLION
A former Department of Health official in East London, Jeffery Njova (60) was arrested on 18 November 2020 following a protracted Hawks’ Serious Commercial Crime Investigation and he subsequently appeared in court shortly afterwards facing 80 counts of fraud.
It is alleged that during the period 2005 to 2008, Njova unlawfully and deceptively interfered with the Department’s procurement processes. The investigations have linked him to several instances wherein policies of the supply chain management were undermined.
Apart from the mandatory three quotations for services that the Department would require from suppliers, Njova would source three additional quotations from other suppliers ensuring that they were the lowest. This resulted in Njova unduly pocketing over R1.9 million through kickbacks.
The East London Magistrate’s Court has released Njova on a warning, he is expected back in court on 07 December 2020.
