JEREMY MAGGS: Twelve months after submitting the State Capture Commission’s final report, the Chief Justice Raymond Zondo has hit out at lawmakers saying nothing has changed. He goes on to say that he’s worried that Parliament is incapable, his word, of preventing another bid to capture the state. Parliament in response says, it’s not the place of a chief justice to make such public remarks.
JEREMY MAGGS: Do you think that level of inertia exists? Why would Parliament be incapable of acting with more haste? Just to give an example, government committed to strengthening legislative protection for whistleblowers, that has yet to come. From a Parliament side, Zondo recommended that a dedicated committee of the National Assembly be established to oversee the presidency. Again, no action has been taken.All that Parliament has said is that they will study international best practice, go on a study tour or two to look at that. I think that’s really inadequate.
It’s a very process-driven approach that they’ve taken. We’ll deal with it, but we’ll deal with it in our own time.
