ANC STATEMENT ON THE ADHOC COMMITTE ON NKANDLA REPORT

18 August 2015

The African National Congress welcomes the conclusion of the work of the Adhoc Committee on Nkandla report which has diligently and thoroughly carried its task to conclusion. We also welcome the findings and recommendations regarding the reckless  and rampant corruption by government officials and contractors.

It is our view that this matter must be given urgent attention to ensure that those responsible for this corruption should be held accountable for their wrong doing. We call law enforcement agencies and affected departments to act decisively.

Measures must be taken by government to ensure that this does not repeat itself as it makes mockery of public prescripts when regulations are by-passed with almost impunity. We call on swift action to ensure full accountability by those implicated.
