We need R1bn to do our job - Public Protector
30 March 2017
Cape Town – The Public Protector’s office needs at least R1bn to stay afloat and work effectively, Advocate Busisiwe Mkhwebane said on Thursday.
Briefing Parliament’s justice committee on her budget and annual plan, the Public Protector and her delegation pleaded for more money.
"I know it might sound like a scary amount," she told the committee.
In her strategic plan, which was also distributed in the committee, she said the allocation of R263.3m "is a drop in the ocean".
