The EFF’s Statement on Public Protector Investigation into Minister Gayton McKenzie on Paris Wasteful Expenditure
-We, therefore, fully support the Public Protector’s investigation into whether the Minister’s actions constitute a violation of the Executive Members’ Ethics Act (EMEA) and the Executive Ethics Code, which outline the standards of conduct expected of public officials. Specifically, we are concerned with whether McKenzie’s conduct has breached several key provisions, including misuse of public funds and failure to act in the public interest.
