You must protect them ngoba phela sibone sebasikhiphela ema-memo lana batsi singakhulumi nawe\u201d,said the State Prosecutor whose name cannot be revealed for ethical reasons.<\/p>\n<p>An investigator of the Anti-Corruption Commission(ACC) confirmed knowledge of the investigation adding that, it was long concluded.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes,there was(an investigation)and it was concluded. Once we conclude the investigation, we take the file to DPP who evaluate the evidence and then approaches the High court for a warrant\u201d,said the ACC investigator.<\/p>\n<p>Efforts to reach Jabu Phakathi proved unsuccessful at the time of compiling this report.<\/p>\n<p>Retiring Government Spokesperson Alpheous Nxumalo and Prime Minister Russell Dlamini had not responded at the time of compiling this report.<\/p>\n<p>But the information about the Prime Minister\u2019s interference into operations of the law enforcement agencies, was leaked to this publication during a recent meeting of State Prosecutors within the DPP\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n<p>The Prosecutors were discussing among themselves and complaining that the PM \u201chas blocked\u201d the arrest of the PS.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt seems we are going back to the Barnabas era where only those who are enemies of the Prime Minister will be arrested\u201d, said one of the frustrated Prosecutors during the meeting.<\/p>\n<p>A questionnaire was sent Bertram Steward, the Principal Secretary(PS) in the Prime Minister\u2019s Office, however,he had not responded at the time of compiling this report.<\/p>\n<p>Reached for comments on Thursday, human rights lawyer Sibusiso Nhlabatsi said, the Prime Minister(PM) \u201cis defying the King who commanded him to fight corruption\u201d by stopping the arrest of the PS.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen you ask yourself; if he is defying his boss being the King who commanded him to fight corruption, what does this mean?. Secondly, Prime Minister, despite being the Minister of Police,does not have powers in law, to stop any arrest once there is a prima facie case against any individual, he has no power to stop that arrest.What he is doing now is undermining the rule of law and the administration of justice in the country while putting the whole administration of justice into disrepute. But again, by frustrating the law enforcement agencies, this might mean he is demonstrating that,he is part of the corruption.Lastly, maybe we can ask ourselves what is preventing the police from effecting the arrest because if there\u2019s a prima facie case, they have a right in terms of Section 189 of the Constitution to effect the arrest, the police can just defy the PM\u2019s order and effect the arrest\u201d, said the human rights lawyer.<\/p>\n<p><b>Source: Swaziland News<\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/eswatini\">Eswatini<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Eswatini.
