Parliament’s Standing Committee on Public Accounts (SCOPA) is concluding its inquiry into the Road Accident Fund (RAF), with officials saying concerns about possible corruption are present but are “dwarfed” by broader allegations of incompetence. According to reporting from multiple outlets, SCOPA indicates it will recommend criminal charges against individuals it believes are implicated and will seek financial recoveries related to improper conduct. The committee also calls for a “full rethink” of the RAF, suggesting that structural or operational changes may be needed rather than only individual accountability. Both sources characterize the inquiry as placing primary emphasis on failures in how the fund has been managed or operated, even as corruption remains part of the committee’s overall concerns. While the outlets use slightly different wording to describe the balance of issues, they agree on the key outcomes: SCOPA is considering criminal referrals and recovery measures, and it is advocating for a comprehensive review of the RAF’s approach moving forward.
