The Turkish Parliament has decided to establish a single inquiry commission to investigate corruption allegations against four former ministers of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s government, with the panel set to be dominated by the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) itself,
Hürriyet Daily News reports.
The commission, which lawmakers in the 550-seat Parliament voted by a huge majority of 453-9 to establish after a tense session May 5 that lasted 16 hours, will decide whether the former ministers will be prosecuted.
The cabinet favoured the formation of a single panel while the opposition pushed for a separate commission for each minister, the news agency informs.
