This comes after a majority of Cabinet Ministers boycotted the launch of the PM’s development plan after he sidelined them when compiling it, the Prime Minister is currently leading a divided Cabinet and might face a Parliament vote of no confidence.
Reached for comments, the Mayiwane MP confirmed receiving a warning from the police shortly after questioning the Prime Minister regarding the absence of the Cabinet Ministers.
“I asked the PM to explain the absence of other Cabinet Ministers, we can’t be launching a national development plan without Cabinet Ministers. But a few hours later, I received a call from the police warning me that the Prime Minister was not happy when I questioned him”, said the Mayiwane MP.
Acting Government Spokesperson Thabile Mdluli declined to comment about the matter.
But a majority of Cabinet Ministers boycotted the Prime Minister’s Grand Plan for National Transformation, the plan was compiled without the involvement of Cabinet.
The PM is alleged to have ordered other media houses not to cover the event and as a result, Members of Parliament(MPs) complained that they were not receiving coverage as the Government Facebook page and other State controlled publications were reporting the Prime Minister’s positive side of his Grand Plan presentation.
