Ramaphosa: Delayed lifestyle audits to be completed ‘soon’
President Cyril Ramaphosa insists across-the-board lifestyle audits for all government employees will still be rolled out.
He was answering questions in Parliament on Tuesday.
He was asked by the DA's John Steenhuisen why so far, only provincial government leaders have been subjected to audits while ministers are yet to come under a microscope.
Ramaphosa says the audit process is slow.
"They are quite intrusive and get into private details of members' lives and of course, the presumption of innocence is an over-riding issue.
"We underpin everything on the presumption of innocence until something that may well show that there is no innocence comes up."
