Corruption Watch joins Nkandla Concourt case
Corruption Watch will be joining the EFF and DA’s application to enforce the Public Protector’s recommendation's following her findings on the multi-million rand Nkandla upgrades.
The organisation has been granted leave to intervene as a friend of the court when the matter is argued in the Constitutional Court tomorrow.
The EFF, joined by the DA, approached the court after another report by the Minister of Police absolved President Jacob Zuma from any financial liability for the non-security upgrades at his private northern KZN home.
Corruption Watch's Executive Director, David Lewis says the Public Protector plays an important role in curbing corruption.
"We will go to court on Tuesday as we did in the Supreme Court of Appeal and our legal team will submit arguments to the effect that the Constitution requires that the findings of the Public Protector be treated not simply as advisory opinions or recommendations but as binding findings," he said.
