Ramaphosa must explain anti-corruption measures
19 April 2022
President Cyril Ramaphosa undertook to take decisive action to ensure that corruption, theft and fraud are not committed with the emergency funds, amounting to billions of rand, that are earmarked for the state of disaster in KwaZulu-Natal.
He said the same about the Covid-19 emergency relief fund, and yet the extent of the corruption was vast. Therefore, the FF Plus is asking the President to explain in detail the measures that he is referring to.
He stated that the Auditor-General and National Treasury will be involved in applying the funds – but he said that regarding the Covid-19 funds as well.
In addition to this, he also made mention of "other role-players" as well as government departments. And that is precisely the problem. He is paving the way for possible corruption.
