Some four officials of SSNIT including Mr. Thompson are facing charges of wilfully causing financial loss to the state. Their indictment was as a result of an investigation by EOCO on the procurement of an ICT Software costing $72 million. SSNIT also contracted PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC) to conduct an audit into the contract. According to the lawyers, SSNIT Board and management hid this piece of information in PwC’s Report from the media in order to prevent them from asking the necessary questions. They further indicated that the SSNIT press conference on the OBS project was actuated by malice and was an intellectually dishonest exercise.
