PUBLIC Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane has decried the start of the Section 194 inquiry into her fitness to hold office while there is a probe by Chief Justice Raymond Zondo under way into an SMS sent to a counsel for Parliament.

Mkhwebane said it was unjustifiable for MPS to press ahead with the inquiry in the prevailing atmosphere.

She said it would be wrong to begin the process when the other outstanding issues had not been resolved.

The public protector has laid criminal charges against Ismail Abramjee after he sent an SMS to a counsel for Parliament when they were in court last month seeking an interdict to stop the inquiry.

The SMS related to a judgment on a rescission application. |
