'The [Public Protector Act] is very silent: it does not outline and spell out what are those functions and powers.'
Jones said it is important for a deputy public protector to understand his or her role so that the position could be aligned with the strategic goals of the institution. He added that he understood from the act that the role is a supportive one.
Advocate Shadrack Nkuna, the deputy director of public administration investigations at the Public Service Commission , said he would emphasise what he called the fundamentals of teamwork to the public protector. A former police officer, Nkuna said his work at the specialised commercial crimes unit and his current job at the PSC had given him the necessary experience that would be useful in the public protector's office.
