This massive inflation of costs points to fraud and corruption and the public has the right to know.
In a letter to Parliament, the senior legal advisor recommends that those parts of the Nkandla report by the Department of Public Works task team dealing with the President's security, such as the architectural plans of his house, could be expunged from the report and that the rest of the report should be referred to the Portfolio Committee on Public Works, which sits in the open. Yesterday in Parliament, Deputy Minister Cronin supported this recommendation when he said that it was not problematic to disclose aspects of the report relating to Public Works' role in the controversial upgrade.
Minister, when will you implement the legal advice, support your deputy, and send those parts of the report that deal with Public Works' role to the portfolio committee which sits in the open? [Time expired.] [Applause.]
