Nkandla: DA’s review application before SCA next month on powers of Public Protector
7 August 2015
The ANC in in the Nkandla Ad Hoc Committee predictably rubberstamped the Nhleko report that we assert should have never even been considered in place of the Public Protector’s report in the first instance.
The DA therefore looks forward to our review application before the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) in the SABC matter that will, in part, provide greater legal clarity on the powers of the Public Protector and how the Chapter Nine institution’s remedial action is to be engaged.
By an ordinary judicial process it is for the SCA to come this determination before the Constitutional Court contrary to the assertions made by one opposition party not featured in our minority report
Last night the DA, together with other opposition parties that participated in the Committee, submitted a minority report to the Nkandla Ad Hoc Committee established by Parliament to consider the Minister of Police, Nathi Nhleko’s report commissioned by President Jacob Zuma relating to the spending of R246 million at Mr Zuma’s private residence at Nkandla.
