MPs Ready for Probe into Police Graft Allegations

Africa-Press – South-Africa. Members of Parliament’s ad hoc committee investigating police corruption are ready to get started as early as next week.

The National Assembly ad hoc committee investigating the allegations made by KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi will meet on Tuesday as it races against time to conclude its work within three months.

This week, Parliament named the 18-member committee comprising eight parties represented in Parliament.

Parliament might be on a lengthy recess, but the multi-party committee is expected to meet during the break from next week.

When the committee meets on Tuesday, the first order of business will be electing a chairperson, who will most likely come from the African National Congress (ANC).

But committee member Lisa Schickerling said they’re raring to go.

“We do look forward to it. It is going to be a very interesting ad hoc committee, and we really hope that we get clarity for South Africans.”

The committee will start its probe in the coming weeks which will look at the nature and implications of relationships between senior police leadership and certain members of the public, among others.
