MPs votes on inquiry into Public Protector won't be secret

Jan Gerber/News24
The voting on whether the National Assembly conducts an inquiry into Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane's fitness for office will proceed with the normal rules for hybrid sittings.
This means an MP who disagrees with their party's line, will have to state it publicly.
The vote will be on 16 March.
MPs who don't want to toe their party's line on the independent panel's report on Tuesday will have to draw the presiding officer's attention to their dissenting vote.
This is the effect of the Chief Whips' Forum's decision to keep the current rules for voting in hybrid parliamentary sittings intact for Tuesday's decision on whether or not the National Assembly should institute an inquiry into Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane's fitness for the office.
