The top officials of Parliament have undertaken to provide updates on the dispute involving former Parliamentary Budget Office director Dumisani Jantjies, when the case at the CCMA is finalised or as developments occur.
Parliament has been hauled before the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation, and Arbitration (CCMA) in connection with the non-renewal of the director of its think-tank, which provides advice and analysis on budget and policy proposals.
This comes after the contract of Parliamentary Budget Office former director, Dumisani Jantjies, who was appointed on a five-year contract in December 2020, was not renewed when it expired.
Acting chief parliamentary legal advisor, Frank Jenkins, told the Joint Standing Committee on Financial Management of Parliament on Friday that Jantjies’s contract had not been renewed.
Jenkins said Jantjies was challenging the non-renewal of his contract at the CCMA.
