Ad hoc committee calls for probe into organised criminal infiltration of prosecutors - EWN

The ad hoc committee investigating police corruption is calling for an investigation into the organised criminal infiltration of prosecutors.

Members of the committee support the recommendation that the National Director of Public Prosecutions (NDPP) should inform the Justice Portfolio Committee on the process that will be followed to investigate the allegations.

Parties continued deliberations on the draft report during the ad hoc committee's meeting on Thursday night.

Political parties have submitted several recommendations on what should happen after the committee concludes its inquiry.

Some of the institutional reforms focus on the entire criminal justice system, including the conduct of prosecutors.

Committee chairperson, Soviet Lekganyane, read out the African National Congress (ANC)’s submission on the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA).
