STATEMENT BY ARCHBISHOP DESMOND TUTU IN RESPONSE TO A STATEMENT BY MR JACKO MAREE, MP
The Commission has not excluded members of any political party from employment. If an employee has applied for amnesty, the Amnesty Committee is bound by law to consider and decide upon the application.
The acts for which Dr Minyuku applied for amnesty were listed in his amnesty application published in November last year. Dr Minyuku is not a Commissioner, so he does not decide on policy, investigations or the Final Report. He is in charge of administration and is the accounting officer.
