JOHANNESBURG - President Cyril Ramaphosa has rejected claims that the recommendations of the state capture commission have been swept under the carpet.

The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) has come under scrutiny lately, with questions raised about its handling of state capture-related cases.

While the president admits there are challenges within the institution, he maintains that action is being taken against individuals implicated in the looting of state funds.

Presidency spokesperson Vincent Magwenya said there had been consistent progress.

"Government has recovered nearly R11 billion in stolen public funds, strengthened our law enforcement capacity and implemented comprehensive reform across government."

Last week, former Chief Justice Raymond Zondo stressed the need for adequate resourcing to hold the corrupt accountable.

But Magwenya insisted that this was already underway.

"President Cyril Ramaphosa remains committed to the full implementation of the state capture recommendations and to rebuilding public trust in our institutions."
