Paul O'Sullivan apologises for Parliament walkout

JOHANNESBURG - Controversial forensic investigator Paul O’Sullivan has sent a letter to Parliament's Ad Hoc Committee to apologise.

That's after he walked out of the proceedings last week, leaving MPs furious.

O'Sullivan claimed he had a flight to catch.

Despite warnings from chairperson Soviet Lekganyane that he had not been formally excused, O’Sullivan packed up his documents and left.

MPs wanted him held in contempt of Parliament for his bad behavior.

The Committee sought legal advice on his walkout. It considered a subpoena to compel him to return and complete his testimony.

O’Sullivan is now back in the hot seat on Thursday.

Proceedings are expected to start at 10am.
