Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane's future under scrutiny as parliament considers report into removing her
Parliament's justice and correctional services committee is expected to consider a draft report on the request to expedite procedures to remove Busisiwe Mkhwebane from office.Fresh after having to defend herself against comments by finance minister Tito Mboweni questioning her ability, public protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane will now come under scrutiny from parliament's justice and correctional services committee.
It was this ruling - among others - that led DA chief whip John Steenhuisen to write to National Assembly speaker Baleka Mbete to request an inquiry into Mkhwebane's fitness to hold office.Tuesday's consideration of the report comes less than a week after Mboweni expressed his lack of confidence in Mkhwebane while responding to a question during a pre-budget media briefing last week Wednesday.
In a report published last year, Mkhwebane found that Mogajane had failed to declare a traffic offence conviction when he was being considered for the position of treasury director-general, and recommended that remedial steps be taken against him.
