The ANC blocked the discussion of the salary increase for Secretary to Parliament, Xolile George, when the EFF wanted the matter added in the agenda of the parliamentary committee meeting.
The Red Berets want a forensic investigation instituted into Secretary to Parliament (STP) Xolile George’s salary increase, which doubled to R5 million since his employment three years ago.
EFF MP Omphile Maotwe made the demand as ANC parliamentarians pushed back on George’s salary being discussed at the Joint Standing Committee on Financial Management of Parliament’s meeting on Friday.
Maotwe faced an uphill climb when she asked that the salary be included on the agenda.
“I would like to add as we have a proposal. We would like to have a forensic investigation into the matter,” she said.
