Forensic analyst Paul O’Sullivan asks Parly for limit on questioning time citing health issues

Forensic analyst Paul O’Sullivan has requested that Parliament’s ad hoc committee not interrogate him late into the night because of his health issues.

He’s asked that his testimony on Tuesday and Wednesday not to drag beyond 7pm.

O’Sullivan is currently giving evidence in person before the ad hoc committee investigating police corruption following weeks of delays for his testimony.

He said he spent the whole night preparing for his testimony.

“I also have medical issues that need to be dealt with. I’m 70 years old. I’m not the spring chicken that I used to be. So unfortunately have spinal problems and spend a certain amount of my time lying flat and I don’t really want to give evidence lying on a bed. So, by a certain time today I will be in a lot of pain.”

O’Sullivan also confirmed extra security has been provided for him during his stay in Cape Town.

“The security team of Parliament are scattered around this room and outside and the police have provided me with additional escorts.”
