The ACDP has raised serious concerns regarding the involvement of Members of Parliament, who were investigated by the Scorpions, in the legislative process deciding the Scorpions future.
This follows a letter written by businessman Hugh “Bob” Gleinster. ACDP MP and spokespers on justice matters, Steve Swart explained
“This letter is a direct consequence of the ACDP raising this issue last week in the beginning of the public hearing into the future of the Scorpions”
Swart added, “we raised the question of how members of the parliament were investigated and prosecuted by the scorpions can objectively decide on the future of the very same scorpions who investigated them”
“In our view, there is a clear conflict of interests and this matter is unprecedented in the history of our parliament, thus we fully support this letter and we urge the speaker of parliament to remove members of parliament who were investigated by the scorpions”
