EFF reiterates its objection to the NPA opening the doors of justice for sale
21 June 2023
The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) reiterates its strong opposition to the National Prosecuting Authority's (NPA) sale of justice through external donor-funding, which has reportedly now reached R43 million. We vehemently oppose the NPA's audacious decision to expose itself to glaring conflicts of interest, blatant influence, and flagrant compromises to the sacred principles of impartiality and fairness in the prosecutorial process.
Despite sound objections from both the EFF and justice loving South Africans, the Minister of Justice, Ronald Lamola has accepted R43-million from private donors.
The promised amended NPA donor funding policy guidelines have not been finalised, however deals have been signed with entities such as Business Leadership SA, along with other in-kind donations coming in from private donors.
The ANC Government continuously engages in excessive fruitless expenditure as we have witnessed in the State Capture Commission. This Commission was a daily horror soap opera to the tune of RI-Billion with no tangible results. So there are sufficient state resources for NPA to operate optimally. However, the ANC is incapable of governing effectively.
