Johannesburg - The Congress of SA Trade Unions raised concerns on Tuesday that the arms-deal report by the African National Congress national executive committee (NEC), would not be made public.

Cosatu spokesperson Patrick Craven said that due to public interest in the arms-deal saga, it should be dealt with in an open and transparent manner.

Cosatu was "concerned that the report will only be for the internal consumption of members of the NEC", as its purpose was to inform the new ANC leadership about the arms deal.

Craven said Cosatu still wanted a full and impartial investigation into the arms deal.

On Monday, ANC general secretary Gwede Mantashe said the report would be available to the ANC leadership at the next NEC meeting in May.

Mantashe said the report aimed to ensure new party leadership did not have to depend on "anecdotal information" on the arms deal, but was properly informed.
