It was illogical that suspended prosecutions boss Vusi Pikoli should return to office, President Kgalema Motlanthe said on Monday.

"It is illogical," Motlanthe *1 told journalists at a briefing in Pretoria.

This was after the contents of the Ginwala inquiry, looking into the conduct of Pikoli, was released on Monday.

The report found that the applicant could return to his job.

However Motlanthe came to a decision that Pikoli be relieved of his duties, citing that Pikoli had not paid sufficient attention to national security.

He reiterated that the report assisted the president in his decision, adding that he would communicate the decision to parliament within 30 days.

"I've taken this decision with a clear conscience *2," Motlanthe said.

With acknowledgements toGiordano Stolley and Sapa.


*1       It is illogical to keep him, according to Motlanthe.

That is logical.

But it is illogical to fire him to everyone else in the entire universe except Motlanthe and his motley crew.

That is logical.


*2      Clear conscience indeed - just shows what type of people we're dealing with.

This is of the original politician scum who have perfected the art of the possible.
