Radijeng appointed DIS Tribunal Committee chair

President Mokgweetsi Masisi has finally appointed Justice Dr Godfrey Radijeng as the new chairperson for the Tribunal on Intelligence and Security, , Mmegi has learnt.

The tribunal Committee on Intelligence and Security has not been operating for a very long time, something which Members of Parliament were not happy about.  The appointment came after Justice Dr Zein Kebonang took a prolonged leave of absence in December last year, Kebonang then wrote a letter to the President informing him that he was stepping down from the position. 

The MPs’ concern was that Directorate of Intelligence and Security (DIS) was not accounting to any committee except Public Accounts Committee (PAC) and therefore there was need for the Tribunal Committee to be there in order to hold it accountable.
