Former Director General of Intelligence and Security Services, Isaac Kgosi, was back in court this morning on charges of corruption.
Appearing briefly before Justice Chris Gabanagae of Gaborone High Court, Kgosi is said to have received a bribe of P687,281.29 from Vlatacom D.O.O in July 2009.
The bribe was allegedly an appreciation for Kgosi’s influence in getting the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Board (PPADB) to sanction direct appointment of the company to provide countrywide communication Infrastructure, supply electronic Identity Card production system and supply and installation of Automated Finger Identification System (AFIS) to the Directorate of Intelligence and Security.
The Directorate of Public Prosecutions argues that this amounts to corruption.
The matter was postponed to August since the accused person requested to consult his defense lawyers before taking a plea.
The Voice is reliably informed that extradition proceedings have commenced against the then General Manager of Vlatacom D.O.O Vladimir Cizelj who is believed to be in Serbia.
