# President Cyril Ramaphosa says he does not have any direct and specific information on the alleged misuse of public funds for party political purposes. TimesLive is reporting that it has seen the president’s letter addressed to Parliament’s standing committee on public accounts chairperson, Mkhuleko Hlengwa, on the leaked audio. In the letter, Ramaphosa reportedly says the public funding statements he made at the NEC meeting were based on allegations already in the public domain. He says since he became president he has taken a number of steps to uncover and end the misuse of public funds.
