ANC votes against Eskom corruption probe
The African National Congress used its majority in parliament on Thursday evening to vote against establishing an ad-hoc committee to probe allegations of rampant corruption and criminal cartels operating at Eskom that allegedly involve high-ranking ANC politicians.
The governing party said that parliament’s oversight mechanisms and the appointment of a minister of electricity were enough to deal with any issues at the power utility.
The 201 ANC members of parliament present at the session voted against the motion, while all 115 opposition MPs present voted for it.
