Mkhwebane one step closer to Public Protector office
30 August 2016
Cape Town – Advocate Busisiwe Mkhwebane is one step closer to becoming the next Public Protector after Parliament’s ad hoc committee on Tuesday adopted its report on the process.
In a 15-minute no-fuss meeting, the ANC, DA, EFF, NFP, ACDP and UDM committee members adopted the report recommending Mkhwebane for the post.
Public Protector Thuli Madonsela’s term ends in October. The committee, which shortlisted and interviewed the candidates, was hoping to have the new candidate in office in time for a handover process.
The report would be submitted to the National Assembly, to be debated on Wednesday, September 7.
