MK Party's cautious approach to the proposed Ad Hoc Committee investigating police allegations

THE MK Party yesterday reserved its position on the report of the two committees that recommended to the National Assembly the establishment of an Ad Hoc Committee to investigate the allegations made by KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner, Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi.

The report was adopted after MPs had raised some concerns related to omissions and sanitisation, among other things, in the minutes of their previous joint meeting and the draft report, prompting amendments to be made.

“We don't want to be included in the people who agreed on everything. The MK reserves its position to this report,” said the party's Mzwanele Manyi.

Rise Mzansi MP Makashule Gana said they noted the MK Party’s reservation of the right.

“I hope as they reserve when we get to the House, they are not to vote against the establishment of committees that will look into the allegations,’ Gana said.

The two committees, along with the Joint Committee on Intelligence, were tasked by National Assembly Speaker Thoko Didiza to consider on an urgent basis the wide range of allegations regarding security matters that have implications for the country’s national security in line with their respective mandates.
