Bosasa saga: DA calls for an full scale investigation
19 November 2018
DA leader Mmusi Maimane says he will be writing to President Cyril Ramaphosa on Sunday to request that he appoints an independent inquiry to fully investigate the Bosasa scandal, which now involves the President and his family.
Maimane said the inquiry should be headed by a retired judge to be selected by the Chief Justice. He wants it to investigate:The full extent of Bosasa’s corrupt influence on the government;All payments made by Bosasa to politicians, or their families, trusts or companiesThe full involvement of the President and his family to this scandal; andAny other related issues and payments.
"There can’t be double standards. President Ramaphosa has appointed independent inquiries to investigate corruption elsewhere. Now the same standard must apply to him and his family," Maimane said in a statement issued on Sunday.
"He must appoint an independent inquiry to investigate Bosasa’s enormous and likely corrupt influence on the government and the ANC."
