Hon Deputy Speaker, I am a Minister who is always hands-on but not hands-in! [Laughter.] I utilise both the Constitution and the National Prosecuting Authority Act to ask the NPA to give me reasons for why they do certain things, as I am obliged to do in terms of the Constitution and the law.
I indicated to hon Smuts yesterday that I already have pending a meeting with the Acting National Director of Public Prosecutions on the issues that she has highlighted, in particular on the KwaZulu-Natal one.
So, the point I'm making is that the long and the short of it is that I ask all the time why it is necessary, so that I as the Cabinet member responsible for the NPA, who exercises final responsibility, am fully informed.
