DA rejects RAF’s attempts to hide audit report
13 February 2022
The DA notes the Road Accident Fund’s (RAF) attempt to block the Auditor-General of South Africa (AG) from making its annual audit report public.
The RAF filed an urgent application with the North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria to stop the AG from releasing its report and tabling it in Parliament.
Not only does the RAF want the AG to pay for all costs should they oppose this ridiculous application, it also wants the application to set aside the findings of the report to be heard at a later date.
Alternatively, the RAF wants the AG’s “declaration of invalidity” to be suspended for 6 months so that they can “meaningfully engage with the applicant to remedy the defect”.
