# Transport minister Barbara Creecy has directed her department to file a high court application for a declaratory order regarding the driving licence card machine tender. The tender, awarded to Idemia, was flagged as irregular by the Auditor-General. It faces scrutiny over possible mismanagement and cost inflation from 468-million-rand to nearly 900-million-rand. Lobby group Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse raised concerns over transparency and favoritism. Despite receiving a review report in January, the department has yet to disclose its findings.
