Nkandla Committee is denying Draft Report to Opposition
06 November 2014
I have today written to Cedric Frolick, Chairperson of the Nkandla Ad Hoc Committee, requesting again that he provide a copy of the Committee's draft report to myself and the Opposition Members of the Committee.
While the ANC continues to keep the draft report private and confidential, it proves that the Ad Hoc Committee is nothing more than an ANC study group taking its cue from Luthuli House, not the Constitution, the Rules of Parliament or any other relevant legislation.
Since the first tabling of the report by the ANC seven days ago, all attempts by the DA to contact Mr Frolick have gone unanswered and are clearly being deliberately ignored.
It is critical that the Opposition receives the draft report in order to consider its accuracy and to ensure that it correctly reflects the reasons why the Opposition walked out of the Committee.
