⚖️Section 194 inquiry could collapse as Parliament refuses to foot the bill 💰 for suspended Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane who wants unlimited funding for her lawyers 💼 BusisiweMkhwebane TheCitizenNews Catch up here⬇️
Section 194 chairperson, Qubudile Dyantyi revealed on Monday the inquiry only had less than a month to complete its work.
“We will not be able to push any further for anyone to make money available for the legal costs. One has tried very hard and it’s been difficult to a point where there was a suggestion that Parliament itself should now fund the rest of the hearings. The speaker highlighted Mkhwebane’s legal bills had gone beyond the R4 million that was budgeted and agreed upon between the Public Protector’s office and Seanego Attorneys.“Honestly, we cannot go into June with this process.
“That means if the committee endorses their new deadline, they’re not going to the National Assembly in this term and that means it will happen in the third term.”
