Tutu, De Klerk seek arms inquiry

2008-12-03 09:08

Johannesburg - Archbishop emeritus Desmond Tutu and former president FW de Klerk have called on President Kgalema Motlanthe to establish an independent commission of inquiry into the arms deal, The Star newspaper reported on Wednesday.

In a letter delivered by hand to Tuynhuys on Tuesday, Tutu and De Klerk asked Motlanthe to appoint a commission by December 10.

The two urged Motlanthe to draft the terms of reference of the commission to allow the "widest possible investigation into impropriety and corruption".

The pair also suggested an investigation into the possibility of cancelling the arms deal and recovering payments already made.

The campaign was supported by the Tutu and De Klerk foundations as well as the Helen Suzman foundation and other organisations, reported the newspaper.

The letter, dated December 1, was delivered to the presidents' Tuynhuys offices in Cape Town on Tuesday by retired banker Terry Crawford-Browne.
