“We have a letter from you here which is disrespectful, untruthful and contains serious insults to the public protector and her legal team. We cannot proceed before that matter is dealt with and ask you to withdraw that letter.
“It’s very concerning that you have signed such a letter chairperson. I wonder if you had gone through it and understood what it means because the way the letter is captured is very insulting,” she said. “Unfortunately, we cannot just shelve it. I’m very concerned because it seems as if you are taking what the [Public Protector’s office is] saying more than I am telling you what transpired.“You even defend them about why I said they should approach National Treasury with your assistance to request additional funding. You even go further to include issues of me wasting a lot of money,” Mkhwebane continued.
The institution also said Mkhwebane’s right to having lawyers at the inquiry did not mean the office was liable to pay the legal fees.Mkhwebane, meanwhile, told the committee said she wanted to make sure that its member knew that the matter has been resolved.
