Parliaments ad hoc committee investigating allegations of corruption in the criminal justice system has successfully secured the physical appearance of private forensic investigator Paul OSullivan to testify.
This comes after the initial reluctance by National Assembly speaker Thoko Didiza. The speaker had expressed concern regarding the committees request to subpoena OSullivan, citing legal and safety issues as the primary reasons for declining to issue a formal summons at that stage.
OSullivan, currently abroad, previously requested to testify virtually, citing serious security concerns. During a committee briefing on Monday, chair Soviet Lekganyane announced that OSullivan would appear in person on Tuesday and Wednesday.
