National People's Party leader, Amichand Rajbansi, threatens that he would not co-operate with the James Commission, which was appointed by President P.W. Botha to investigate allegations of corruption and maladministration in the Tricameral Parliament chamber, the House of Delegates. Rajbansi accused the chairman of the commission, Neville James, of bias and requested that he should recuse himself.
The commission of inquiry revealed that he used his offices to offer his close allies liquor licenses, influence the civil service appointments and promotions, and that he had improperly influenced witnesses against the previous parliamentary inquiries about his conduct in office.
