# The Forum for South Africa has strongly criticised National Assembly speaker Thoko Didiza for refusing to allow a parliamentary debate on corruption allegations revealed by KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner, Nhlanhla Mkwanazi. According to the party, Didiza’s decision shows a lack of urgency and suggests she is protecting political interests instead of the public. The forum’s Tebogo Mashilompane calls on the speaker to respect voters and allow members of Parliament to debate the issue freely:
