The Parliament’s Ad Hoc Committee heard a heated exchange between the private investigator Paul O’Sullivanand Members of Parliament – after he told the commission that while he had taken an oath to tell the truth, he was not obliged to answer every question if doing so could place his family at risk.
The remarks drew a sharp response from MPs, who expressed dissatisfaction and demanded that O’Sullivan amend or clarify his statement. MPs pushed for fuller cooperation, including answers about his time in South Africa during and before 1990. O’Sullivan has denied allegations of being a spy. He faced several allegations, including having undue influence over the Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID), the South African Police Services (SAPS) and the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA).
