THE Tšepong Consortium has elected not to challenge last month’s decision by the government to terminate its lucrative contract to run the Queen ‘Mamohato Memorial Hospital (QMMH) on behalf of the state.
However, the Consortium wants the government to immediately compensate it for the termination of the contract. It further alleges that the government would have to fork out way more than just the M3 billion which Finance Minister Thabo Sophonea has said is the termination fee. The Consortium alleges the government owes other sums in unpaid fees hence the demand for much more than just the termination fee. However, it does not say how much the government should pay. It merely says the amount is disputed by the government.
