ANC: Madonsela's recommendations over Nkandla not binding. | News Article

Parliament's ad-hoc committee considering the Public Protector's report on Nkandla continued today, without several opposition party members.

Members of the DA and EFF walked out of the committee last Friday, following an impasse in the debate over the powers of the Public Protector.
 
Debate hinged on whether the recommendations and remedial actions proposed in the report by advocate Thuli Madonsela were binding on parliament. Opposition parties proposed that this matter should be settled by a court, alternatively that president Jacob Zuma appear before the committee to answer questions raised by the Public Protector's report.
Madonsela had recommended that Zuma pay back some of the money spent on the Nkandla upgrades, as he had unduly benefitted from it. When proceedings began today, ANC Member of Parliament, Mathole Motshekga, reiterated the broad view of the ANC that Madonsela's recommendations are not binding.
