BY LAYING criminal charges over the Public Protector's report on the SA police lease deals, the DA had helped in the fight against corruption, the party said
The DA was responding to the Presidency saying it was "hasty" and it could jeopardise government's fight against corruption by laying the charges.
"The president is wrong. His suggestion that by laying criminal charges ... we are acting frivolously, misrepresents and misunderstands the seriousness of our intention," DA federal chairperson Wilmot James and justice spokesperson Debbie Schafer said in a statement.
