Phala Phala Scandal | EFF demands Parly oppose Ramaphosa's application

JOHANNESBURG - The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) are demanding that the Speaker of Parliament oppose President Cyril Ramaphosa's application to set aside the Phala Phala independent panel Report.

In a letter to Speaker Thoko Didiza, the Red Berets are also demanding an inclusive process for the appointment of legal representation.

The EFF's letter states that the panel is an important constitutional accountability mechanism of Parliament. 

The party believes that allowing the report to be challenged without opposing the action undermines the National Assembly.

The party has requested a response within 48 hours, failing which, the EFF said they will explore appropriate relief on an urgent basis before court.
