After considering a legal opinion on Tuesday, most parties on the committee agreed that the Public Protector’s request lacked relevance.
CAPE TOWN - A request to summon President Cyril Ramaphosa to appear before suspended Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane’s impeachment inquiry has been turned down.
The request from Mkhwebane’s legal team came after the State Attorney responded on Ramaphosa’s behalf last month, stating he did not think it was appropriate for the president to be called to testify. Parliament’s legal advisors say matters related to the Public Protector’s report on the CR17 campaign, have already been ventilated and concluded in the courts.
