The African National Congress defended its‘Own criteria’
Advocate Les Morrison, ANC’s counsel, told the Pretoria High Court on Monday that the ruling party’s deployment committee expected the government to apply its own criteria when making appointments.“The ANC recognises that when one is appointed to government, the first duty is to government and that conflicts of duties must be resolved to government.
“What the DA is doing is trying to limit the rights of political parties, including itself, to say who they would like in public service because their version of the case and in their interpretation of the law, one can come to court and say I don’t like what they are saying so stop them because I think it contravenes a provision of the Constitution because it undermines democracy in some amorphous way.
DA’s counsel, advocate Anton Katz, said the policy itself does not state that the committee’s functions were limited to making recommendations.It lodged its case about two weeks before the final parts of the State Capture Commission’s report were released in June last year.
