PAC: Public Protector's office risks its credibility and reputation

We note and welcome the court decision to set aside the findings of PP that were made on the central bank. The office of the PP should stay away from politics and work for the people to eliminate the cancer of corruption.

The Constitution empowers the office of Public Protector (PP) to exercise his/her duties impartial without any favour or fear. We are absolutely not happy with what seems to e happening in this important office of the people.

The fact that the PP was dragged to court and lost case with costs decreases its credibility, reputation and we will find it difficult to have confidence in that institution.

We must never allow constitutional institutions like that of PP should never be drawn to cheap politics. We would like to convince ourselves that this is the last time office of PP goes to court for all the wrong reasons. There are lot of looters in public offices which shall be investigated, please leave politics.
