Mr President, the Financial Action Task Force process that has led to SA’s greylisting has been years in the making. SA has been warned that your government is far short of the standards set when it comes to the enforcement of anti-corruption laws already on the statute book.Closing down that well-functioning unit in the National Prosecuting Authority was a deliberate stratagem of the Zuma administration designed to keep him and others like him out of the dock in our criminal courts.
Closing down the Scorpions is the antithesis of “building credible institutions” and you should know that the Constitutional Court requires a single specialised institution to counter the corrupt.You suggest the FATF evaluation in 2019 should be understood as coming at a time when the country was emerging from the State Capture era. But you have been the leader of the ANC since 2017, and five years earlier you became its deputy leader. Jacob Zuma resigned as president of SA in February 2018.
The desire of your administration to retain control of anti-corruption machinery of state is apparently behind the unconstitutionality of your plans. What is worse, is that you also have no plans to do so. Hence the exasperation of the FAFT and the consequent greylisting. SA is in danger of moving into negative territory as regards GDP, which will be disastrous for the 55% of the population currently living in poverty.
The R1.75-billion preserved or recovered, of which you boast, is a tiny fraction of the actual loot of State Capture.
