Telkom Criticised Over ‘Whistle-Blower’ Policy
The Freedom of Expression Institute (FXI) has expressed concern about the effect that the suspension of two Communication Workers Union shop stewards linked to the release of the Telkom dossier, might have on employees thinking about exposing corruption.
FXI executive director, Ayesha Kajee, points out that, "The public needs to be able to access information that is pertinent to the procedural conduct of a company such as Telkom."
The dossier documents corruption, bribery, nepotism and fraudulent procurement by at least 16 senior Telkom staff, much of it related to Nigerian unit Multi-Links.
