Ndebele's Gift 'Institutionalised Corruption'
|
18 May 2009 The IFP has condemned ANC Transport Minister S'bu Ndebele's acceptance of a R1.14-million Mercedes from government contractors and called on the former KwaZulu Natal Premier to return the car. "Ndebele's action constitutes conflict of interest and sets a bad example for the entire ANC government that has just been re-elected on a manifesto that promised to fight graft," said Leader of the Official Opposition in KwaZulu Natal Dr Bonginkosi Buthelezi. The IFP insists that Ndebele's greed
institutionalises corruption and proves that government
contracts are awarded by politicians on a quid pro quo basis.
"We urge the newly appointed Minister of Transport to do the
right thing and return the car," said Dr Buthelezi. Contact: |
