The Democratic Alliance wants
Parliament to table the report on corruption in asylum system so that it can be
addressed.
The DA says the report
contains evidence of human rights abuses and rampant corruption at refugee
reception centres.
DA MP of Home Affairs Haniff
Hoosen said it appears that a large number of foreigners who are desperate to
enter as refugees or asylum seekers say their human rights are being abused.
Hoosen added that they are
being charged large sums of money simply to gain access to application
processes to get to the front of the queue as well as officials of the home
affairs who are demanding from them large sums of money to even consider their
application.
“The DA has asked for the
matter to be tabled urgently in Parliament for discussion and we would like the
department to come before Parliament to explain why is that they have not dealt
with this problem even though it’s been in the services for a long time” Hoosen
said.
