Gordhan climbs into Sars top management
30 November 2016
Cape Town - Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan admitted in a parliamentary response that there is a lack of accountability and co-operation from the top management at the South African Revenue Service (Sars).
The Democratic Alliance’s David Maynier posed a question to Gordhan, asking him whether he was aware of the existence of a Sars High Risk Investigation Unit and if so, to elaborate on its role and persons involved.
In his response, Gordhan said the information, which was provided by Sars cannot be verified, “because of a lack of accountability and cooperation from the Sars top management”.
Sars, however, denied that there is currently a high risk investigation unit.
