Parliament can vote on Ngcobo report, despite challenge, says lawyer

Parliament has received legal opinion indicating that President Cyril Ramaphosa’s decision to take the findings of the Ngcobo panel on review does not bar the National Assembly from voting on its recommendation that he face an impeachment inquiry.

The speaker called for an opinion as to whether the sub judice rule would compel the chamber to postpone the debate, scheduled for Tuesday next week, pending the decision of the constitutional court.
