The African Christian Democratic Party has welcomed businessman Hugh Glenister application in the Cape High Court to interdict Members of Parliament, implicated in the Travel gate scandal, from voting on legislation, to disband The Scorpions.
The ACDP raised the issue at the beginning of the public hearings.
Steve Swart, spokesperson on justice matters and ACDP member of parliament, said the party fully supports the urgent application by Hugh Glenister.
“We believe there is a clear conflict of interest and such members of parliament should be excused from all proceedings, dealing with the future of The Scorpions.”
