Days of not holding govt officials accountable are over - NPA boss
Pretoria - NPA boss Shaun Abrahams on Tuesday lambasted those questioning his decision to prosecute Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan on fraud charges.
"What if this decision was made by a judge or the Public Protector?" he asked.
"The days of disrespecting the NPA are over. The days of not holding senior government officials accountable are over."
Last week, the Constitutional Court refused to hear the National Prosecuting Authority’s application for leave to appeal against the order to reinstate corruption charges against President Jacob Zuma.
In April, the High Court in Pretoria ruled that the 783 fraud, racketeering, and corruption charges against Zuma should be reinstated.
