Party Takes Action With New Bills To Cut Graft, Partly Staff

ActionSA will be tabling several pieces of legislation aimed at reshaping the way SA is governed.

- Jarryd Westerdale

Targeting wasted public funds and corruption, the party has two Bills and two constitutional amendments it wants to introduce to gain a tighter hold on both issues.

Senior party members yesterday detailed the legislation and their "patriotic" intentions.

The Bills ActionSA plans to introduce in parliament are the Zero-Tolerance Corruption Bill and the Cut Cabinet Perks Bill.

The corruption Bill would introduce mandatory minimum sentences for corruption and permanently disqualify those found guilty from holding public office.

The proposed Bill would also target private sector players who benefit from government corruption, including executives and those involved in procurement.
