Panel-based decision-making process

Mr Mnisi claims his bias or objectivity was not impaired at the time of evaluating or adjudicating the procurement process, and his individual bias would not affect panel decisions because it is a committee-based decision.

“My bias, my objectivity was not impaired, and I still agree to that. ... In the event, for argument's sake, which I do not agree to and it was not the case, my bias was not objective and it was impaired. Based on this, panel-based decision-making process it would have been a further safeguard. ... from the onset, and now as we speak, my objectivity is not, was not and is not impaired.”
