Public funds wasted on housing for removed MK Party MPs

SIMON T DEHAL|Published

The Public Works and Infrastructure Ministry under Durban’s Dean Macpherson must please take all necessary steps speedily to legally evict the three former uMkhonto weSizwe Party's Members of Parliament (MPs) who continue to occupy parlaiment's accommodation despite being removed from office as MPs by their shady, inept and policy-lacking party, that is generally plagued by controversy and in-fighting.

Yes, the lease agreements must be reviewed early to include amendments that will cover situations like those under consideration, as well as others, to combat unlawfulness.

An order for legal and other relevant costs must be sought against the former MPs Garatwe Agnes Mogotsi, Nomade Grace Mgwebi and France Bongani Mfiki.

Access to courts on evictions and various issues come at a high cost and the taxpayers, unfortunately, usually foot such huge bills.

Hamba (leave) defaulting MPs hamba. Your freebie days of parliament accommodation and accompanying benefits must end soon. Try your luck elsewhere such as shelters for the poor and homeless. SIMON T DEHAL | Verulam
