DA wants Sars commissioner to appear before Parly committee

Cape Town - SA Revenue Service (Sars) commissioner Tom Moyane should appear before Parliament’s finance committee to table the full and uncensored KPMG report into the so-called Sars “rogue unit” which was due in June, but has not yet been released, the DA demanded on Monday.

According to Alf Lees the DA's shadow deputy minister of finance, he has written to the chairperson of Parliament’s finance committee, Yunus Carrim, requesting him to summon Moyane to appear before the committee urgently.

"Mr Moyane must appear and must table the full and uncensored KPMG report into the so-called Sars 'rogue unit' which was due in June, but has not yet been released," Lees said in a statement issued on Monday.

"While the KPMG report was set to be released in June 2015, we are now two weeks into July and both Sars and National Treasury have gone silent about the report, revealing no details as to whether it has been received, or when it will be tabled before Parliament."

Lees said the DA believes transparency is a crucial component of a successful democracy.
