The DA says it's happy the probes into complaints against high profile MPs like Deputy President Paul Mashatile won’t simply fall away and will continue into the seventh Parliament, provided those implicated are still MPs.
CAPE TOWN - Investigations by Parliament’s ethics committee into high-profile members of Parliament like Deputy President Paul Mashatile won't simply expire because of the elections.
The joint committee on ethics and members' interests conducted several investigations into MPs and ministers during the current term of Parliament and found many guilty of breaching the ethics code. The committee was also investigating the now former Speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula, but that won’t proceed because she’s no longer an MPDA chief whip Siviwe Gwarube who is responsible for the latest complaint against Mashatile says she’s happy the matter won’t just fall away.
