ID’s LANCE GREYLING’S- SPEECH ON THE PEBBLE BED MODULAR REACTOR
16TH SEPTMEBER- All I can say today is vindication, vindication, vindication.
NATIONAL ASSEMBLY
All I can say today is vindication, vindication, vindication.
For six years in this House I have been objecting every year to the absurd amounts of money that the government has seen fit to throw the way of the PBMR.
R9 billion worth of taxpayer’s money has been thrown at this project even though it was clear from the international panel of economists way back in 1999 that it would never be economically viable.
I was ridiculed for my stance from that side of the House but today it is clear that this was a momentous waste of government’s resources. That money could have been far better used to position South Africa as a leader in solar energy.
The ID therefore calls for a complete and independent forensic audit so that we can know the full extent of wastage that occurred on this misguided project.
