CAPE TOWN Cheap Air Force 1 Special Field High Boots Faded Olive UK , Nov. 14 (Xinhua) -- South Africa's ruling African National Congress (ANC) on Friday commended a report which clears President Jacob Zuma of accountability for the abuse of funds in the controversial upgrades at his private home.
The National Assembly on Thursday approved the final report of the Ad Hoc Committee which was set up to consider the various reports into the security upgrades at President Zuma's private residence in Nkandla, KwaZulu-Natal Province.
The ANC said the report "is comprehensive and instructive on how to move forward in this matter including the recommendations made for the view of the National Key Point Act, the guidelines relating to the security of Presidents and Deputy Presidents as well as Former Presidents and Deputy Presidents and strengthening of Supply Chain Management processes related thereto."
The Ad Hoc Committee, from which the opposition parties have withdrawn Cheap Air Force 1 HI Supreme Le Black Gold UK , is dominated by ANC MPs.
"It has been regrettable that opposition parties chose to walk out of the Ad Hoc Committee for purposes of political expediency and point scoring. By so doing, they lost an important opportunity to add their voices to solving the problems concerning all of us and to play their role in guarding against the misuse of public funds," ANC spokesperson Zizi Kodwa said.
"We trust both Cabinet and government will act on the recommendations and leave no stone unturned in bringing to book all those responsible for the escalation of costs in this project, " Kodwa said.
The opposition Cheap Off White x Air Force 1 Low The Ten All White UK , led by the Democratic Alliance (DA), strongly condemned the report, calling its approval a backward in the country's democracy.
The security upgrades allegedly cost public funding worth 246 million rand (about 22 million U.S. dollars).
"Some of this expenditure may have been justified, much was clearly not Cheap Men's Air Force 1 SF AF1 Mid Boots Ivory UK ," the DA said.
The government holds certain officials accountable for excessive funding in the upgrades.
The Ad Hoc Committee report leaves the matter to the cabinet to rule whether refurbishments at Nkandla were legitimate security measures and to Zuma to decide who should be held responsible for excesses.
