Tshwane Metro Police Department, TMPD Finance Department

Major Phiri states that once deployment of Gubis 85 Solutions' guards was processed, he had no further interaction or relationship regarding the ad hoc services, as invoices and payment responsibility lay with the Water and Sanitation Department or TMPD Finance Department.

“I had no further interaction or relationship with Gubis Solutions once the deployments were processed .”

Major Phiri states he has no role in generating or creating purchase orders; this responsibility lies solely with the Department of Water and Sanitation, which also handles invoice payments. He denies any improper relationship or favouritism regarding Gubis 85 Solutions.

“I am not responsible for generation or creation of purchase orders . That is the sole responsibility . In this case , it was going to be the sole responsibility of Department of Water and Sanitation . As in 18 , it was told that the invoices must go to Department of Water and Sanitation or TMPD Finance Department . And I have been made aware of inferences suggesting that I may have favoured Gubis 85 Solutions or received incentives for channelling work to them . I categorically deny this allegation .”
