Designados 31 diputados para la comisión de juicio político sobre Phala Phala

El Parlamento anunció a los 31 diputados que formarán parte de la Comisión de Juicio Político que investiga al presidente Cyril Ramaphosa por el asunto Phala Phala. El panel fue establecido tras una orden del Tribunal Constitucional a principios de mayo.

Entre los diputados se encuentran Julius Malema, John Hlophe, Fadiel Adams, Vuyolwethu Zungula y Faith Muthambi. La comisión está integrada por nueve miembros del ANC, seis del DA, tres del MK, dos de ActionSA, dos del EFF y uno de cada uno de los demás partidos.

A principios de mayo, el Tribunal Constitucional ordenó al Parlamento crear este organismo para examinar las conclusiones de un panel de la Sección 89. Dicho panel concluyó que Ramaphosa debía responder por el robo de al menos 580.000 dólares en efectivo en su granja de Phala Phala.

Ramaphosa tiene la intención de solicitar una revisión judicial del informe de la Sección 89. El Parlamento debe modificar primero sus normas antes de que la comisión pueda elegir a un presidente y comenzar su trabajo.
