A defiant Paul O’Sullivan has refused to provide Parliament’s ad hoc committee probing police corruption with details of his educational background.

O’Sullivan was responding to several questions from members of the committee about his background and how he was appointed as an executive at the Airports Company of South Africa (ACSA).

He has also denied allegations that he infiltrated the Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID).

O’Sullivan has faced tough questions from members of Parliament (MPs), who questioned his qualifications and his appointment to strategic positions.

This includes his appointment to ACSA as the head of aviation security.

Julius Malema told O’Sullivan that he didn’t meet the requirements for the job before asking him about his education.

“You were not qualified to be employed as a head of anything at ACSA, because you didn’t possess the necessary qualifications.”

O’Sullivan still refused to give details when pushed on which technikon he attended.

“But I’m not prepared to discuss my educational background, I made that clear.”

O’Sullivan defended his appointment to ACSA, saying he gave the State entity a good return for their money.
