ARMS DEAL PUBLIC HEARINGS A FARCE STATEMENT
ISSUED BY BANTU HOLOMISA, MP The
UDM is extremely concerned that the arms deal public hearings will continue
despite a request by Mr Richard Young, an unsuccessful bidder, to retain the
right to sue government. The UDM believes that forcing Mr Young to testify on
condition of civil case against the government is a blatant attempt at witness
intimidation. It would constitute a gross injustice to deprive Mr Young of his
legal rights. It is exactly this type of situation that government was warned
against from the outset, when these public hearings were announced. Enquiries: |
