"Fujitsu's Role in Government Scandals Under Scrutiny"

Fujitsu, the supplier of the controversial Horizon accounting system to the Post Office, has won billions in government contracts despite its involvement in a scandal that led to wrongful convictions and suicides. The government's reliance on large IT contractors like Fujitsu is highlighted, with concerns raised about the lack of technical and commercial skills within government bodies to effectively manage these contracts. Calls for a moratorium on new contracts for Fujitsu have been made, but the issue extends beyond just one supplier, revealing systemic challenges in government IT procurement and management.
