Members of the public to make submissions on alleged police corruption before Ad Hoc Committee

Members of the public will have an opportunity to make submissions before Parliament’s Ad Hoc committee investigating corruption on Tuesday.

The submissions come after months of evidence from several witnesses who testified on corruption allegations and alleged political interference by the likes of minister on special leave Senzo Mchunu.

The hearings will now see organisations like the Institute for Security Studies (ISS) and Gun Free South Africa making their inputs before Parliament.

The committee in its terms of reference agreed that members of the public should also be given a chance to make their voices heard on how to deal with police corruption.

But the committee insists that public submissions must be relevant to the terms of reference.

The first public submission will be made by Advocate Paul Hoffman from Accountability Now.

Hoffman is expected to give recommendations on how the country can improve its corruption fighting efforts.

He will be followed by the African Policing Civilian Oversight Forum, before the (ISS) makes its submission in the afternoon.

Whistleblower Patricia Mashale will also have her chance to make her submissions.
