- Article I concerns alleged misuse of P612.5 million: P500 million under the OVP and P112.5 million under DepEd.

- The parliamentary committee decided to reject President Ramaphosa’s attempt to halt the Phala Phala farm investigation.
- Most parties accept an independent legal opinion confirming the committee’s authority to oppose the interdict.
- Some groups, including the Patriotic Alliance, suggest obtaining a second legal opinion instead.
- The chairperson noted the approaching court deadline makes acquiring another opinion impractical.
The prevailing opinion based on the inputs made by the parties, is that the committee needs to oppose the urgent application of an interdict by the President. So that is the prevailing opinion of the committee. I don’t even need to put it to the vote. The numbers are such that those on the side of opposing, they are in the majority,” said Gana.— Said by Makashule Gana, the chairperson of Parliament's Impeachment Committee, after deciding to oppose the President's urgent interdict application.
