GOOD statement by Brett Herron,
GOOD: Secretary-General & Member of Parliament
09 June 2022
GOOD takes note of the President’s decision to suspend the Public Protector, Adv Busisiwe Mkhwebane.
The Section 194 Committee was established to inquire if the Public Protector should be impeached, and removed from office, based on a motion to Parliament alleging misconduct and/or incompetence.
The proceedings of the Committee rest on the “golden rules” of constitutional process, rather than a litigious or adversarial one, procedural fairness and rationality, and findings based on impartiality and objectivity.
The office of the Public Protector is at the heart our constitutional democracy and is there to serve our people. Deciding whether to impeach the Public Protector is an incredibly serious matter.
GOOD is represented on that committee and is committed to a fair and impartial process.
