Errant Prasa employees to face legal action – Molefe

The Passenger Rail Agency (Prasa) will suspend contracts identified, or suspected, to have been irregularly awarded and the parastatal will ‘engage with the relevant parties’, board chairman Popo Molefe said yesterday. He also warned legal steps would be taken against Prasa employees implicated in Public Protector Thuli Madonsela’s damning report, titled ‘Derailed’, notes a Cape Times report. They include former chief executive Lucky Montana. Molefe said some steps had already been initiated in line with recommendations Madonsela made in her report. The report found that Montana had made improper appointments and improperly terminated employee contracts during his tenure, costing the state-owned enterprise millions. According to a BDlive report, Molefe also said the parastatal had asked the Public Protector to forward Prasa the complaints that would form part of her second investigation, as some of them could be part of an internal probe already commissioned by the agency’s board, which could be helpful to Madonsela. ‘The board is committed to ensuring corporate governance both in words and in deed. The steps that we have taken now are reflective of that determination to do the right thing,’ said Molefe.
