Dear Editor,
Congratulations to the Minister of Home Affairs for being able to procure for the Police Force spanking new vehicles, thus reducing the number of times the police do not react to reports of offences due to them not having transportation; and secondly, congratulations for procuring the water cannon.
However, I don’t know whether the police or the fire brigade will ever use ‘the cannon.’ But Editor, what perplexes me is the method of procurement of these units. I don’t recall seeing any ‘invitation to tender’ in the press – nor of their method of procurement through the tender board or otherwise.
Yours faithfully,
R J Eleazar
