Peres, Like Katsav, Blocking Ombudsman's Examination
14 Adar 5768, 20 February 08 04:06
by (IsraelNN.com) President Shimon Peres has refused to cooperate with the office of State Comptroller and Ombudsman Micha Lindenstrauss, who told the Knesset State Control Committee Wednesday that he has unsuccessfully been trying to investigate the management of the President's office.
"It is a basic principle of democracy that no institution is above criticism," said Lindenstrauss, a former judge. He revealed that he met similar objections more than two years ago from former President Moshe Katzav. Judge Lindenstrauss maintained he will resume his examination on April 1, even if President Peres refuses to cooperate.
