Gupta probe: Public Protector's Office may approach Treasury for funds
The Public Protector's Office says it has no reason to believe that National Treasury will not assist it with funding for investigations into the controversial Gupta family.
It says it's of the view that government would want to have the matter put to rest.
The Guptas have been accused of interfering in State affairs and the awarding of contracts to companies linked to the family.
Thuli Madonsela's been approached by The Dominican Order, an order of Catholic priests and brothers in Southern Africa, as well as the DA, to investigate the allegations.
Her spokesperson, Oupa Segalwe says she's thinking of approaching Treasury to assist them with funding.
"Annually, the budget has been increasing nominally and we are grateful. It means that government has been hearing our cries. However, the increase has not been as big as it should be," he said.
