KRA OPENS FRAUD AND CORRUPTION HOTBOX
The targeting of municipal officials and councillors, who have been suspected of providing information relating to corruption and the lack of trust in the municipal reporting mechanisms, has led to requests for KRA to make provision for a confidential reporting mechanism for fraud and corruption.
Contractors and local businesses have been reluctant to speak out about irregualrities, for fear of being denied municipal business opportunities and some have been targeted by law enforcement officials.
We have therefore opened a Postnet box where information relating to fraud and corruption can be anonymously reported. Information will be treated confidentially and informants’ identities will be protected. KRA will do everything within our power to ensure that the matter is investigated and reported to the relevant authorities. In those instances where the identity of the informant is disclosed to us, we untertake to not reveal the identity of the whistleblower to investigating authorities without his/her consent.
Information can be mailed to or dropped off at the following address:
Postnet Suite 0016
Private Bag X31
