Hon House Chairperson, I move without notice:
That the Council -
1) notes the ruling by the North Gauteng High Court yesterday, that set aside the findings of the Siriti Commission of Inquiry into the 1999 Arms Deal;
2) also notes that this is a clear indication that the original findings of the commission were illegitimate and inconsistent, and prevented the accountability of those implicated, including Schabir Shaik and former President Jacob Zuma;
3) further notes that the High Court found that the commission failed to investigate critical reports, refused to examine proceedings of the Schabir Shaik trial and failed to value the rules of evidence which concern a commission of inquiry;
4) lastly notes that the people of South Africa must once again pay the price for ANC corruption, with an entire commission of inquiry now being ruled as null and void.
I so move.
