Public protector asks top court to clarify her role

The public protector on Thursday asked the Constitutional Court to help ensure that the executive understands its role in relation to how it should work with her office.

“We need help. Because if this public protector will work with the executive, this matter is one which this court should entertain,” Thabani Masuku, counsel for the public protector, told the court. Masuku, as well as Tembeka Ngcukaitobi representing the EFF, were grilled by the justices on why the test used by the high court when it set aside her findings was not sufficient.

He said an interim interdict was a draconian order which had an effect on the accessibility and effectiveness of the public protector that should be taken into consideration Ngcukaitobi argued that the EFF wanted something “wider”, which looked at the principle of accessibility and effectiveness from the perspective of the complainant.

Act in the public interest to combat corruption and drive accountability, you are not there to carry out the agenda of Zupta cabal. To clarify for you, please resign. PublicProtector
