APC RM Young Evidence Bundles

2015-03-16

Dear Sports Fans

In my own view, I think that there might be as interesting sports activities going on currently in Tswane as there are in Australasia.

Strangely, the following appears on the Arms Procurement Commission's website homepage :

"2015 03 10: Supporting Documents for Richard Michael Moberly Young - Removed as per Commission ruling" (see screenshot below)

Yet, no such ruling was made. Not only was I there, I even checked this on Saturday and agai today with one of my evidence leaders.

Clearly, however there is great sensitivity amongst some of those among us as to the contents of these evidence documents.

Very clearly.

However, just as interesting, the documents are still actually there on the APC's website. It is only the links that have been removed. So if anybody is interested in getting any of these documents off the APC's website one only needs to click on the links that I provide below.

If one is too late for this, then I will in any case sooner rather than later post the documents on our own VPO website.

This is important as this is a public interest matter and both my written witness statement and the transcripts of my oral evidence have diminished value without the corresponding evidence documents.

I am also advised that some pages are missing from the bundles as posted.

These are they :

Supporting Documents: File 01 [7.61mb] 343 pages
Supporting Documents: File 01A [9.51mb] 397 pages
Supporting Documents: File 02 [7.97mb] 291 pages
Supporting Documents: File 03 [10.56mb] 442 pages
Supporting Documents: File 04 [11.83mb] 492 pages
Supporting Documents: File 05 [7.10mb] 372 pages
Supporting Documents: File 06 [14.06mb] 550 pages
Supporting Documents: File 06A [19.55mb] 398 pages
Supporting Documents: File 06B [15.34mb] 341 pages
Supporting Documents: File 06C [10.95mb] 445 pages

Total : about 2 500 pages

Witness Statement: Richard Michael Moberly Young [788kb]

Yours in sports

Richard
