Question NW3541 to the Minister of Higher Education, Science and Innovation
11 December 2023 - NW3541
Shikwambana, Mr M to ask the Minister of Higher Education, Science and Innovation
Following the suspension of the Chief Executive Officer of the National Student Financial Aid Scheme over allegations of being involved in irregular appointments of the service providers, what action has been taken against the companies that were wrongfully appointed?
Reply:
The NSFAS Board has sought legal advice on steps to take to cancel the impugned tender process. Of the advice received, approaching the High Court on self-review is the most legally astute and will afford all parties to state their cases before the court. NSFAS will abide by the just and equitable order once granted by the court.
