  2. Rishi #Sunak: #Ban Fujitsu from all #UK public sector #contracts.

    Outsourcing IT company #Fujitsu was responsible for the #Horizon software used by the #PostOffice when it #wrongly #convicted #postmasters. Many lost their #jobs and #savings and in some cases went to #prison or lost their #lives.

    Fujitsu should NEVER receive another public sector contract and should be #removed immediately from the government's list of #Strategic #Suppliers.
