Patel told Cuthbert:"The NLC used lawfare against the ministry ... [it] used public money, enormous quantities of public money, to fight oversight by this ministry over their affairs."
Quoting correspondence from February this year between himself and new NLC Commissioner Jodi Scholtz, Patel said she had told him that the organisation was"experiencing challenges" in supplying the information he had requested. And when the NLC reported to the TIC portfolio committee on its most recent financial results last week, Scholtz told MPs that all the contracts with legal service providers were cancelled because they were irregular.
She added that the problem was compounded by"challenges" within the NLC's legal department as there was only one administrative staff member, as the head of the unit had resigned, and two people are on extended sick leave.
