The Democratic Alliance said it is deeply disappointed that the Arms Procurement Commission’s public hearing was postponed again.

On Monday Commission chair Judge Willie
Seriti agreed to a request from lawyers of the defence department for the issue
of the declassification of documents before the commission to be dealt with.
The Commission will start on the 19th of August 2013 . DA Researcher and Communications Officer
Alexander Leisegang said that it’s impossible that after two years the
commissioner has not resolved the issue of access to confidential documents held
by the department and Armscor.
“The problem must surely have been
anticipated by the commission and should have been resolved before the public hearings
began,” added Lesegang.
