'I have no reason to favour Mdluli' - Lawrence Mrwebi testifies
Suspended special director of public prosecutions, Lawrence Mrwebi, told the Mokgoro Inquiry that he never met former Crime Intelligence boss Richard Mdluli and had no reason to favour him.
Mrwebi took the stand for the first time on Wednesday to respond to his detractors and accusers.
"I have no reason to favour Mdluli. Bring the evidence. Let's apply the law," Mrwebi told the inquiry, which is headed by retired justice of the Constitutional Court, Yvonne Mokgoro.
Mdluli faced charges of fraud, theft and corruption for allegedly pillaging the Crime Intelligence slush fund.
"I have no reason to favour anybody when I take a decision. The fact that the person might be hated does not influence my decision," he said.
