Question NW3659 to the President of the Republic
30 November 2023 - NW3659
Steenhuisen, Mr JH to ask the President of the Republic
(a) What progress has he made, since the finalisation of the Report by the Judicial Commission of Inquiry into State Capture, Corruption and Fraud in the Public Sector including Organs of State (the Commission), with the implementation plan to deal with the findings against (i) members of his Cabinet and (ii) other office-bearers in the Executive and (b) why did he appoint the specified office bearers in his Executive despite the findings of the Commission?
Reply:
As stated in my response to the recommendations of the State Capture Commission submitted to Parliament on 22 October 2022, the Presidency referred all recommendations with respect to criminal investigations, possible prosecution and/or other actions to each of the entities to which recommendations were directed. This was so that the relevant entities may act on the recommendations in line with their respective mandates.
Any actions taken by the President with respect to members of the executive about whom the Commission made findings and recommendations will be informed by the outcomes of the processes undertaken by the relevant entities.
