Parly committee probing police corruption considers calling MPs mentioned by Mkhwanazi as witnesses

The parliamentary ad hoc committee investigating police corruption is considering adding to its list of witnesses, including Members of Parliament who were mentioned by KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi.

During his testimony before the Madlanga Commission last week, Mkhwanazi told the inquiry that National Coloured Congress MP Fadiel Adams, as well as Democratic Alliance MP Dianne Kohler-Barnard, had mishandled classified police information.

Kohler-Barnard is also an alternate member of the ad hoc committee.

Committee chairperson, Soviet Lekganyane, told Tuesday’s meeting that the matter must be considered by the committee.

"And one of the members who has been mentioned is an alternate member of this ad hoc committee, Honourable Kohler-Barnard. The members of this ad hoc committee must discuss this matter and come with a proposal or a decision on how we deal with matters like this, where members of this ad hoc committee are being mentioned."
