Commissions of inquiry aren't a waste of time - Cyril Ramaphosa.
President Cyril Ramaphosa has told a group of business leaders and professionals that the commissions of inquiry he has setup will bear fruit.President Cyril Ramaphosa has assured hundreds of professionals in Johannesburg last night that setting up a number of commissions of inquiries to look into various corrupt activities will not be a futile exercise.
The president said if there was enough evidence that people have committed malfeasance emanating from the commissions, they will be prosecuted no matter how prominent they are. “State capture debacle has been an overarching one and has not only gripped the nation, but a whole number of institutions in our country.
“Those that have done things wrongly, must be prosecuted and they must be accountable for what they have done. If there must be jail time, they must be jail time,” said Ramaphosa to a round of applause. Last month, the president issued a proclamation which establishes an investigative directorate within the office of the National Director of Public Prosecutions.
