DA calls for terms of reference of Necsa task team to be made public
27 February 2015
The DA has in its possession documents that present a prima facie case of widespread maladministration, a flagrant disregard for due process, and potential fraud being perpetrated at the Nuclear Energy Corporation of South Africa (Necsa) (see BDlive report).
In terms of the Public Finance Management Act and the Prevention and Combating of Corrupt Activities Act, Necsa is compelled to institute an independent forensic investigation with proper terms of reference.
On 20 February, Minister of Energy, Tina Joemat-Pettersson, appointed a Department of Energy (DoE) Task Team to conduct a thorough investigation into the affairs of the Necsa Board.
While there is a genuine case for an investigation into NECSA, we are concerned that the Task Team's terms of reference, its composition and the complete scope of its investigation are yet to be made public.
