# National Assembly Speaker, Thoko Didiza, has declined a request by the African Transformation Movement to table a motion of no confidence against president Cyril Ramaphosa. The motion was grounded in a Constitutional Court ruling, which found that Parliament acted unlawfully in blocking the establishment of an impeachment inquiry against the president. In response to the motion, Didiza cited parliamentary rules and procedural requirements. ATM says it believes Didiza is actively protecting Ramaphosa, and has not learned from the mistakes of her predecessor, Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula.
