DA: ANC continues to influence deployments at courts, Chapter 9 institutions, SOEs
The DA has accused the ANC’s cadre deployment committee of continuing to interfere in the appointment processes at state institutions.
The opposition party briefed the media on Wednesday after obtaining minutes of the ANC’s cadre deployment committee.
DA’s Leon Schreiber said during the Ramaphosa presidency, the party’s deployment committee intervened in appointment processes at 88 different state institutions, including courts, Chapter 9 institutions, SOEs and government departments.
The party will lay a formal complaint to the Public Service Commission.
“Our complaint will request that the PSC, as the constitutional custodian of the public service, investigate each and every one of the appointments contained in the ANC’s cadre deployment committee minutes. In cases where the PSC confirms illegality, the DA will insist that those appointment processes are rerun and that, this time, skilled applicants are not excluded simply because they are not cadre of the corrupt ANC,” said Schreiber.
Schreiber said the party will write to the Speaker of the National Assembly to request an urgent debate of national importance on the effects of cadre deployment.
"But approaching the PSC and initiating a debate of national importance in Parliament is only the first step in what will be a concerted and sustained campaign by the DA over the coming months to use the historic window of opportunity created by our publication of these minutes and the state capture commission to abolish cadre deployment once and for all.”
