DA Labels 20 EFF MP’s Investigation as flawed

The Democratic Alliance has labeled the investigation by the Powers and Privileges Committee into the disciplinary hearing into the conduct of 20 Economic Freedom Fighters Members of Parliament as a political hatchet job by the ANC.

DA representative of the Powers and Privileges Committee Annelie Lotriet said the process followed during this investigation was completely flawed.

Lotriet said the DA, UDM and IFP – rejects the PPC report on the events of 21 August. The PPC investigation was little more than a political hatchet job by the ANC aimed at achieving a predetermined outcome.

Lotriet said we have produced a report that scrutinizes the flaws in the investigation.


“This report will form the basis of a Private Member’s Bill to amend the Powers, Privileges and Immunities of Parliament and Provincial Legislatures Act of 2004, to ensure that the PPC is fair and unbiased in future Lotriet added.
