Parliament, Monday, 07 September 2015 – Parliament notes and strongly rejects various newspaper reports related to the precautionary suspension of the senior managers in Parliamentary Protection Services, as a desperate attempt to sensationalise and dramatize a management and labour process that is aimed at stabilising security arrangements in Parliament.
Parliament notes that these actions are aimed at damaging the image of the institution, its management and the Parliament Protection Services by way of engaging in unbecoming ‘politiking,’ against the integrity of the institution. Parliament will not be drawn into this type of engagement because it lacks integrity.
Parliament stands by its previous statement that the precautionary suspension is without prejudice, it is put in place to allow for an independent investigation to take place without any negative influence.
Parliament wishes to reiterate that it is precisely for such reasons as demonstrated by the unprofessional behaviour of some staff members that it wishes to protect the integrity of the process from those who seek to influence and direct the outcomes of this process in a manner that is not consistent with our policies and general professional conduct. Through such utterances in the media, any official is in direct violation of the terms of Parliament policies regarding the Code of Ethics and Conduct for Employees and the Media policy of Parliament, which are very clear on the rules of staff engagement with the media. Parliament notes the brazen disregard for organisation processes, authority and policies in regards to speaking with the media.
Parliament urges all involved to allow the due process of Parliament to take place without interference and attempts to influence the process or its outcomes. To this end, Parliament has engaged with the suspended employees to take the process forward as quickly and smoothly as possible and has not received cooperation in this regard.
Parliament will not respond to each and every utterance as covered by recent media reports.
Parliament notes that its security environment has progressed positively towards stabilisation and it is working hard to ensure a more sustainable solution.
ISSUED BY THE PARLIAMENT of RSA
A hundred years ago in the midst of war between all the empires of Europe. There was a standstill at the Western Front. Where Germans, French and British soldiers made a truce on this day, that day was 24. December of 1914. I don’t really have words to describe the astonishing feeling of such an act in the midst of all the bloodshed. The pictures I will add and old articles and letters will tell it better than I am able to. Nevertheless, Merry Christmas! And never forget those who fought for our rights of today. Peace.
Let us never forget!
