Dismissive reply from JSCI on the "spy cable" scandal is not good enough
2 March 2015
I have written to the Chairperson of the Joint Standing Committee on Intelligence (JSCI), Connie September, taking her to task over what amounts to a perfunctory and dismissive reply to my request for a briefing on the "spy cables" scandal to the Joint Standing Committee on Intelligence.
On 24 February 2015 I wrote to the Chairperson requesting her to:
Schedule an urgent briefing by the Minister of State Security, David Mahlobo, on the "spy cables" scandal; and
To table and make public a special report, in terms of Section 6 (2) of the Intelligence Oversight Act (No. 40 of 1994), on the "spy cable" scandal in Parliament.
