The Democratic Alliance welcomes the news that the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) in the United Kingdom will pursue charges of bribery against BAE Systems.
BAE Systems are alleged to have paid millions of pounds in so-called "commissions" to secure the deal to supply fighter aircraft for the South African Air Force.
The prosecution of BAE Systems represents the last best hope for us to get to the bottom of what really happened during the arms deal.
The public has a right to know who was paid and how much they were paid to sway the tendering process in favour of BAE Systems.
If called upon to do so we hope that if officials from the police service and prosecution authority will continue to cooperate with the Serious Fraud Office in the United Kingdom.
