DA calls for SIU findings into Eskom corruption to be handed over to Zondo Commission
The Democratic Alliance (DA) is calling on the Special Investigation Unit (SIU) to present a report of its preliminary findings on industrial scale looting at Eskom power plants by contractors, before the Zondo Commission for inclusion as part of evidence into state capture.
New evidence has since emerged from media reports that 11 contractors are currently under SIU for allegedly stealing R139 billion during the construction of Eskom power plants at Kusile, Medupi and Ingula.
The Zondo Commission should call on all the implicated contractors to come and give evidence before the commission on the role that each played in this staggering theft of public resources.
It is insincere for the failing ANC government to claim ignorance while taxpayers money was being stolen by unscrupulous business people whom they had contracted to build the power plants.
The ANC knew about Eskom corruption and they must take responsibility for failing to act on it.
