The Special Tribunal has declared that the awarding of the controversial scooter tender by the Eastern Cape Health Department was invalid and unlawful.
The tender was worth R10.1 million for 100 scooters that were claimed to be used as ambulances. The scooters were later found unsuitable for that purpose.
The Special Investigating Unit (SIU) in its investigation found the tender was awarded irregularly and referred the matter to the Special Tribunal for review.
