Suspended public protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane has filed another application for the recusal of section 194 inquiry committee chair Richard Qubudile Dyantyi.
Dyantyi has acknowledged the application and has informed Mkhwebane’s lawyers he will respond by July 21.
He said Mkhwebane’s grounds for the application are centred on the alleged interactions between Mkhwebane’s husband, David Skosana, and the late ANC MP Tina Joemat-Pettersson. “The allegations are currently being investigated by parliament’s joint committee on ethics and members’ interests after she laid a complaint.”
The application raises seven grounds for recusal, including allegations of bribery, corruption and extortion against Dyantyi, “that Mr Dyantyi is the subject of a pending investigation by parliament’s ethics committee, a pending police investigation and that the committee and Mr Dyantyi is proceeding with its programme despite (Mkhwebane’s) lack of legal representation”.
