Commitment to transparency and service delivery amid investigation into tender collusion

04 October 2024

STATEMENT BY THE CITY’S MAYORAL COMMITTEE MEMBER FOR URBAN WASTE MANAGEMENT, ALDERMAN GRANT TWIGG

I welcome the investigation into the allegations of tender collusion involving two senior managers in the Urban Waste Management Directorate. Ensuring the integrity of our operations is paramount, and I fully support any measures taken to uphold this principle.

Service delivery is our top priority, and we are committed to doing everything within our power to enhance the services we provide to our community. We understand the importance of trust and accountability in local governance, and we will continue to prioritise these values as we work to improve service delivery across the board.

The allegations regarding tender collusion were brought to my attention, and I have since referred them to the Acting Executive Director of Urban Waste Management for a thorough investigation. At this stage, I am not in a position to provide further information, as I am not directly involved in the ongoing investigations.
