The Standing Committee on Public Accounts will lay a criminal charge against former RAF CEO Collins Letsoalo after he failed to appear before the Committee.
The Standing Committee on Public Accounts (Scopa) on Wednesday voted in favour of laying criminal charges against former Road Accident Fund (RAF) CEO Collins Letsoalo after he failed to appear before the parliamentary inquiry, despite being subpoenaed.
The ANC, DA, ActionSA and Rise Mzansi backed the laying of the charges against Letsoalo with eight votes against the three obtained by the EFF and the MK Party.
This came after Scopa discussed a letter from National Assembly Speaker Thoko Didiza, who was asked to give concurrence to the resolution taken by the committee at its last meeting.
Letsoalo gave the committee the middle finger when he was asked to voluntarily attend the parliamentary inquiry probing allegations of maladministration, financial improprieties, and misuse of public funds at the RAF.
