Ramaphosa was responding to accusations by some of the political parties in Parliament that government has failed to implement the recommendations.
Speaking during the debate on the budget of the Presidency, Ramaphosa says the government has implemented major reforms, including creating new laws.
“In the three years since the final report of the State Capture Commission was presented to the President, the state has undertaken major reforms based on the recommendations and created new legislation. Eight new laws have been enacted to strengthen our anti-corruption institutions.
“Enhance procurement systems. Reform the intelligence services as well as improve corporate accountability and public administration. The value of assets that were linked to state capture that have been recovered by the state now stands at 11 billion Rands ($613 million),” Ramaphosa adds.
Ramaphosa says it is important to get to the bottom of claims made by KwaZulu-Natal provincial Police Commissioner, Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, which is why he has appointed a judicial commission of inquiry.
Mkhwanazi alleged that Police Minister Senzo Mchunu is connected to persons linked to criminal activities and that top police officials are involved in criminal activities.
Mchunu has been placed on leave of absence.
