He said Makwakwa’s suspension‚ triggered by findings made by the Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC)‚ was controversially lifted based on reports conducted by Hogan Lovells and Adv Motau.
“This was despite the fact that these reports did not investigate the allegations that the suspension was based on.”
Lees said Moyane had done everything in his power to protect Makwakwa “even to the point of misleading and possibly lying to Parliament‚ as reported in the Daily Maverick on March 7 2018”.
“The DA will ensure that when Moyane’s appearance before SCOF is used to make him account on why Makwakwa was reinstated after being suspended over serious allegations of involvement in illegal activates and financial crimes.
“Moyane must understand that the ‘jig is up’ and his attempts to further delay the release of the Lovells and Motau reports only serves to cast doubt over his suitability to continue leading the tax revenue service‚” Lees stated.
