# National Assembly Speaker Thoko Didiza has rejected the MK Party’s call to remove RISE Mzansi Member of Parliament Makashule Gana as chair of Parliament’s Section 89 Impeachment Committee. MK parliamentary leader John Hlophe argued Gana could not be impartial because his party is part of the Government of National Unity. Gana was elected 19 votes to 12, following nominations by the ANC and DA. Didiza says she has no power to overturn the committee’s vote. Gana remains chair as the Phala Phala inquiry continues.
