Disappointment in Speaker’s Decision Not to Oppose President’s Attempt to Block Accountability

ActionSA is deeply disappointed, but not surprised by the decision of the Speaker of the National Assembly not to oppose the President’s attempt to evade accountability.

This decision is a clear indication that the ANC has once again forced the hand of the Speaker, choosing political protection over constitutional duty. The impeachment committee resolved on Thursday to oppose the President’s application, in line with its responsibility to ensure accountability and uphold the integrity of Parliament.

By refusing to act, the Speaker undermines Parliament’s obligation to serve as a check on executive power and sends the wrong message to South Africans about accountability at the highest office in the land.

ActionSA will continue to put pressure on both the Speaker and the Chairperson of the committee to ensure that accountability is not delayed by endless legal manoeuvres and Stalingrad tactics by the President.

If the President truly believes he has done no wrong, he should face the process openly and allow the truth to come out, instead of continuously seeking to avoid scrutiny.
