JOHANNESBURG – The SA Reserve Bank Governor Lesetja Kganyago on Wednesday defended the central bank from those who were calling for its mandate to be expanded by throwing the Constitution into the fold.
Speaking at the launch of the SA25 commemorative circulation and collectable coins in Johannesburg, Kganyakgo said that the Constitution had an important place in the work of the Reserve Bank, with one of the principles being the independence and impartiality of the Reserve Bank in the interests of the maintenance of effective public finance and administration.
“The enhancement in basic human rights – the right to housing, health care, basic services such as water and electricity, the rights of workers, the rights of civil organisations, the accountability of the executive to Parliament, the transformation of public finance management, the independence and competence of the judiciary, the independence and mandate of the SARB – all come from the Constitution.
