Parliament’s audit committee has recommended the National Anti-Corruption Commission (Nacc) examine the Synergy 360 procurement controversy, the first such referral since the Nacc opened its doors in July.
In its interim report tabled on Wednesday, the audit committee said it had received “concerning evidence … raising serious allegations and questions about financial impropriety, improper relationships and undisclosed conflicts of interest” with parties receiving government contracts.
