Gana defends rescinding evidence leader amid EFF, ALPA court bid
The EFF is asking the court to set aside the decision on the grounds that it was irrational.
Parliament's Section 89 Impeachment Committee Chairperson, Makashule Gana, asserts that the committee will oppose legal challenges from the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) and the African Legal Professionals Association (ALPA) regarding the decision to withdraw support for Advocate Thandazani Madonsela as Chief Evidence Leader. The case is currently being heard by the Western Cape High Court on Tuesday and Wednesday.
The EFF is requesting the court to overturn the decision, arguing that it was irrational. Gana maintains that the committee adhered to the rules and established practices of the National Assembly during the entire process. As the committee's chairperson, Gana will vigorously defend the committee's actions before the Western Cape High Court judges, emphasizing that each step of the way, the committee acted within the rules and practices of the National Assembly when they received the decision recommending Madonsela as Chief Evidence Leader.
