Hearing for top Treasury staffer

Disciplinary action will be instituted against National Treasury director-general Dondo Mohajane for lying about his criminal record in line with a recommendation by the public protector, the presidency said yesterday.

Minister of Finance Tito Mboweni would implement the outcome of the hearing, including the sanction.

In December last year, Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane found that in his 2011 application to become director-general, Mohajane did not disclose he had a criminal record due to a speeding fine. – ANA
