Moses Khombe, Director of Sheba Oil and Gas Company, has admitted authoring an email in which he appeared to pressurize Government officials to pay K750
Controversy has ensued over the Salima – Lilongwe water project as government and contractor Khato Civils have disagreed on materials to be used in the project.
This followed a meeting held on Tuesday, as the parliamentary committee on Natural Resources engaged government officials and Khato Civils to discuss the project progress.
According to MacDonald Mwale, Director of Economic Affairs who also represented secretary to Treasury, Khato has gone against the contract where it was agreed to use Ductile Iron Pipe in the project.
He told the committee that Khato is now opting for Mild steel pipes which are manufactured in South Africa, a thing that has not gone well with government as it is not part of the contract.
