The audit into NetOne has opened a can of worms for former chief executive officer Reward Kanga. Kangai allegedly disregarded State Procurement Board (SPB) regulations and appointed Afrosoft without seeking board approval. Afrosoft were appointed the service provider for the OneWallet mobile money transfer. This move could have prejudiced the network of millions of dollars.
Excerpts of the report read:
Kangai confirmed that the SPB (State Procurement Board) was not involved in the selection and appointment of AfroSoft. He further stated that at the time that AfroSoft was appointed, it was the only provider of the software development services required by NetOne
This was in contravention of SPB regulations which stipulate that where such a direct selection and appointment is made, approval has to be sought from the SPB.
