Honourable Members,
To overcome the scourge of corruption in our society, we need to uphold and advance the rule of law. We need to ensure that due process is followed without fear, favour or prejudice.
Since the start of this Presidency in 2018, we have focused on rebuilding our law enforcement agencies, strengthening and resourcing our institutions and entrenching the independence of the judiciary.
The results of these efforts are now plain to see.
Bodies like the Special Investigating Unit, the Hawks and the Investigating Directorate against Corruption are registering significant progress in uncovering corruption, making arrests, embarking on prosecutions and recovering stolen assets.
These bodies have shown that they do not fear to act. As we speak, senior figures in government, state-owned enterprises and business are standing trial for alleged corruption.
We have introduced a tracking mechanism to ensure that referrals from the Special Investigating Unit are implemented.
Members of the National Executive are not above the law.
If there are credible allegations against anyone in Cabinet, they should be investigated by the relevant law enforcement agency.
If any member of the National Executive is charged with corruption or another serious crime, they will need to vacate their position pending the outcome of any case against them.
The fight against corruption must be grounded in the rule of law and due process.
Corruption must be rooted out in all its forms in all of our society.
