COSATU to consult lawyers on latest version of Secrecy Bill
Athenkosi Mvane
The Congress of
South African Trade Unions says they welcome the passing of the Protection of
State Information Bill.
Cosatu Spokesperson Patrick Craven said they are busy studying the amendments to the bill before it is passed by the National Assembly next year.
Craven says they
want to check whether their concerns within the Bill have been met.
“We will now be referring the matter to lawyers to see whether
it is possible to challenge the law in the constitutional court, particulary if
it does not adequately protect whistle blowers”
Craven said.
