| Media Statement Paul O’Sullivan’s claim that the ICD had “whitewashed the matter” in reference to his allegations against National Police Commissioner Jackie Selebi, is devoid of all truth. Even more ludicrous is his claim that everything he gave the ICD was passed to Selebi. He hides behind declining to name important witnesses because there are none. The ICD would not compromise its investigations by passing information to the subjects of such investigations. In fact we put allegations to Selebi once and could not do it for another time because all the information O’Sullivan gave us did not justify us putting it to Selebi again. If anything, his claims strengthen our understanding that the fact that he has an axe to grind against Selebi has warped all fair and reasonable judgment on O’Sullivan’s part. We can assure him and all those who think we protected Selebi that such action would be too self-defeating for us as an institution and would not be contemplated no matter who the allegations are made against. O’Sullivan goes further to say he declined to name certain important witnesses which is sufficient proof that he ensured we could not get to the crux of the investigation. He came with a complaint and we asked him to enable us to authenticate his claims. This he did not do and failed the litmus test which is “He who accuses must prove”. Without proof from those who had evidence for the allegations, we could not prove anything against Selebi.
