The Democratic Alliance said the comments
by the African National Congress’s National Executive Committee confirm the ANC
deployed its Chairperson Baleka Mbete as Speaker to undermine the role of
Parliament.
This follows comments by the ANC’s Secretary
General Gwede Mantashe that Parliament should protect Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa
and President Jacob Zuma from embarrassment and humiliation in Parliament.
DA Parliamentary Leader Mmusi Maimane said
the ANC is undermining our system of democracy that ultimately the
accountability of the executive now will seat back at Luthuli house whereas it
always has rather than the people of
this country.
“It shows that the ANC is departing quite
significantly away from institutions that uphold our democracy.” Maimane added.
