THE Kunene Regional Council has warned the public to avoid dealings with a man named Moses Kamati who is accused of falsifying documents and forging the signature of the Chief Regional Officer (CRO), George P. Kamseb.
The council has opened a case of official document falsification against the alleged perpetrator.
According to council spokesperson Tulimekondjo Pandeni, Kamati continues to present himself as the Secretary of Procurement Chain Supply and forged the signature of the CRO on the “Letter of Acceptance” indicated to be an Open Standing Offer Agreement between the Council and Messrs Quintessential Trading and Consultancy Pty Ltd on 07 June 2022.
Kamati also claims to be the Chief Regional Officer (CRO) and requested formal quotations for medical patient monitors for the Opuwo State Hospital.
Pandeni said the documents appear to have the official stamp of the Kunene Regional Council, but since the documents retrieved are copies it is yet to be determined how the stamps appeared on the two falsified documents as presented.
She said that the council has not issued or approved any request for informal quotations for the supply and delivery of medical patient monitors for the Opuwo State Hospital.
Pandeni stated that the Directorate of Health and Social Services also indicated to the Kunene Regional Council that it has not issued or approved any request for informal quotations for the supply and delivery of the items.
She said investigations are underway to get more clarity on the matter and apprehend the perpetrator.
Approached for comment on the number he provided on the falsified document, Kamati claimed that he “could not hear” and ended the call.
