, probing suspended Public Protector Adv Busisiwe Mkhwebane’s fitness to hold office.
“You and your committee are fixated on the rigidity of the programme. Yesterday one listened with pain on YouTube, member after member saying no we can’t grant this request of the public protector to give time. Why? Nobody mentions the public protector. Nobody mentions the issue of fairness. No, it’s about we have so many committees, we sit in so many committees, we have this burden the committee has a programme and members have a lot of work.
“We take that as a committee, a written evidence which is on record in this committee and therefore it helps us as a committee to do away with the proposed oral evidence of Monday and Tuesday,” Dyantyi adds.“One of two things is going to happen which is to take that issue to court or to make a fresh application for you to summon the witness. Maybe that’s what we need to do because we can exhaust our remedies,” Adv. Mpofu explains.
“We can’t lead somebody on a statement prepared by somebody else. It doesn’t happen. If we take her statement then obviously, we will lead her,” says Adv. Mpofu.
