DA wants stats of police officers with criminal offences
Mluleki Mrwebi
The Democratic Alliance said a reply to its
question to the Minister of Police Nkosinathi Nhleko regarding the number of
police members who have been convicted or has criminal offences in the last
year has revealed a serious problem within the SAPS.
DA MP of Police Dianne Kohler Barnard said
Minister Nhleko does not know how many cops have been convicted in the last
year as the figures are not readily available.
Barnard said the country can not afford to
have police officers that are criminals and the Minister himself does not know
anything about this and this needs to be investigated.
She added that the DA will be writing to
Parliament and this needs to be finalsed sooner.
