President Cyril Ramaphosa rejected the suggestion made by Democratic Alliance leader, Mmusi Maimane to separate commission of inquiry established to investigate allegations of sate capture, corruption and fraud involving African Operation.
Ramaphosa said this when he fielded oral questions in the National Assembly on Thursday afternoon.
The president stood his ground not to separate the commission of inquiry and he advised the members of parliament that there is no reason to establish a separate commission of inquiry.
“As a country and as leaders, we should direct our efforts toward supporting the Zondo commission of inquiry and urging all with information relevant to its mandate to make themselves available to the commission”. The president continued with rejecting the suggestion, there is absolutely no reason to establish a new inquiry to investigate a matter that is already being investigated by a sitting commission of inquiry.”Ramaphosa said.
Meanwhile, the president said the CR17 campaign has brought up an important question of internal party funding. He says leaks of select bank statements have been used to further a nefarious agenda.
Ramaphosa says boldly that there was no wrongdoing, criminality or abuse of public funds.
