Division Inspectorate

A complaint was received by Ministry and referred to the National Commissioner, indicating the Division Inspectorate mishandled the service complaint levelled by Mr Adams and inappropriately handed multiple dockets to the Investigating Directorate against Corruption (IDAC).

“The purpose of the information note is to provide a response to the allegation that one, the Division Inspectorate was complicit and irregular in the handling of these service complaint levelled by Mr Adams, and two, to reflect on an averment that the Division Inspectorate irregularly handed seven dockets to the Investigating Directorate against corruption, IDAC.”

ADV JOHNSON confirmed that the dockets requested by IDAC are the same as those irregularly handed over by the Division Inspectorate to IDAC.

“The dockets that were requested are those dockets. So you confirm.”

Lieutenant General PAJ Jacobs in a memo dated 1st November requested a report on a complaint received from a Member of Parliament, showing passing of the complaint through to the National Commissioner and issues of complicity and irregular handling by the Division Inspectorate regarding Mr Adams' complaint and referral of seven dockets to IDAC against corruption.

“‘Good morning, Major General Sebula. Ministry has received this complaint from a Member of Parliament. In order for the Ministry to respond accordingly, please furnish this office with a report in responding to this complaint and the details of the investigating officer who was assigned to investigate those cases. Your report is expected by Monday, 4th of November.’ ...
