Saying that “lying to the National Assembly is a very serious breach of the Rules of Parliament”‚ Democratic Alliance leader Mmusi Maimane called for a “multi-party parliamentary committee to investigate whether President Jacob Zuma misled” the house about Nkandla. “While the president is not a member of Parliament per se‚ he is most certainly bound by the rules of the National Assembly when he appears in the house‚” the opposition leader said on Wednesday.ANCWL protects Zuma‚ attacks Manuel and Ramos’ ‘match made in heaven’Maimane said Zuma had‚ “in a number of oral question sessions… between 2012 and 2015‚ …refused to acknowledge that anything wrong had been done at Nkandla‚ suggesting that he had paid for the upgrades with a private mortgage‚ and that all of the upgrades were planned privately by his family”.Leagues defy Gauteng ANCHis request to the speaker for a probe contained a “number of excerpts from the (parliamentary record) Hansard …for consideration”.These excerpts‚ he claimed‚ made it “clear… that there is at least a strong prima facie case that the president deliberately misled the National Assembly‚ to avoid scrutiny on the Nkandla matter”.“President Zuma has been running from the Nkandla saga for the better part of five years‚ dodging accountability‚ and refusing the take responsibility for the fact the he unduly benefitted from public money to the tune of R250-million‚” Maimane said.“While the African National Congress constantly protect this one man from accountability‚ I am committed to ensuring that no person can be above the law at the expense of the South African people‚ whether that be the president or not.“That is not the constitutional dispensation we envisaged 20 years ago.”..
