DA leader Geordin Hill-Lewis.
The Democratic Alliance (DA)’s Federal Leader, Geordin Hill-Lewis says the mandate of Parliament’s impeachment committee is to pursue the truth rigorously and without fear or favour.
He made the remarks on the sidelines of the DA’s voter registration rally in Eersterust, Tshwane, on Saturday.
Hill-Lewis stressed that the process is not aimed at protecting any individual but ensuring that ethics, accountability and honesty in government are upheld.
He says any findings must be guided strictly by evidence, with those responsible for wrongdoing held accountable regardless of political standing.
“This is not about this government, it’s about something much bigger than this government. It is much bigger than any individual person or president. It’s about the kind of future we want for our country. If we want a better future we have to stand up for some values and those values like accountability, like ethics have to be much more valuable, precious and important. So, they will stand up for those things. If there is evidence of wrongdoing then the person responsible must be accountable. There can be no fear or favour.”
