Minister, we have seen the President move with great speed in the suspension of Advocate Pikoli on very flimsy, specious grounds, yet here we have Commissioner Selebi not being suspended. The question relates not to the cloud of suspicion hanging over the commissioner but to his competence in relation to the job. This country is suffering and ordinary citizens don't have your bodyguards or the bodyguards used by Members of Cabinet. They are being robbed, raped and murdered at unprecedented levels. You cannot deny that.
The question is, seeing that the commissioner has failed in his overall performance; has failed in his attempt to bring crime down; has failed in the eyes of the public in that he has friends in very low places, will you suspend him or not, and if you won't, why on earth not, and if you can't, have you asked the President to do so?
