It is alleged that the score-sheets used to award fishing rights by the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries were not lawful.
The Democratic Alliance has called for the
fishing rights process to be done over from scratch as there are allegations of
unlawful process that have been followed.
It is alleged that the score-sheets used to award fishing rights by the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries were not lawful.
DA Deputy MP of Agriculture, Forestry and
Fisheries Pieter van Dalen said they have already submitted an application in terms
of the Promotion of Access to Information Act for access to all the records of
scores sheets from the Department.
We are doing this because I have
information and have seen the score sheets and it looks like it’s a blatant
arbitrariness and unlawfully process that has been followed.
The minister has a chance to fix this
problem and she must do it now and it does not help her to build on a process
that is flawed.
