The Democratic Alliance wants Secretary of Parliament Gengezi Mgidlana to account for what it described as an “extravagant Europtrip”.
Reports on Sunday indicated that Mgidlana and other senior officials had spent “an outrageous” R2 million on a two-week “benchmarking exercise” across Europe‚ the DA said.
“This is a disgusting appropriation of public funds and Mr Mgidlana and his office must account for it.
“I will request that the newly-established Joint Standing Committee on Financial Management of Parliament summon Mr Mgidlana and have him provide a full report on his office’s ‘Eurotrip’‚” said DA chief whip John Steenhuisen.
