Driver's license printing card machine bid committee's European trip ignites controversy
AMSTERDAM - A grand European vacation, at least that is what it seems, like for the driver's license printing card machine bid evaluation committee.
It's the lead story in Sunday's edition of the Sunday Times.
In a video, provided by Outa, the delegation can be seen toasting each other in Amsterdam.
They also visited France and other parts of Europe.
But, they haven't provided an explanation for why they were there.
The Acting Transport DG says the machines are in the Czech Republic and Greece.
Idemia SA was awarded the tender for the card-printing system for the next five years.
It's valued at R1-billion rand, R412-million more than budgeted for.
The Department has asked for the contract to be set aside.
