Mr Speaker, the Justice portfolio committee is concerned about the length of time taken to appoint the National Director of Public Prosecutions. Arising from the reply, will the hon Deputy Minister agree that the outcomes of the cases against Rodavan Karadzic, Andrew Phillips and Dave King, together with the abuse of the plea bargain system that resulted in self-confessed murderers, hitmen and drug kingpins like Glenn Agliotti, Nigel May Gag, amongst others, going free, are clear indications that the National Prosecuting Authority is in desperate need of a national director, if only to remove any perception that the NPA is rudderless and in crisis?
