The arms deal hearings continued today. Allegations made by Dr. Richard Young were rejected by Rear Admiral Johnny Kamerman. Kamerman said that they were going to launch an investigation into why Dr. Young released certain documents. He has top clearance from Armscor, so he should have known the consequences of releasing these documents. This could result in Armscor losing some of the contracts. Selby Baqwa said that they will be compiling a report which they hope to present to parliament at the end of September.
