Minister in the Presidency Collins Chabane on Friday said it is the duty of law enforcement agency’s to act on allegations of corruption without fear or favour.
Communications Minister Siphiwe Nyanda is at the centre of another tender storm. It is alleged Nyanda wants all tenders for the department to be cancelled until they have been discussed and approved by him. He is also said to have stripped his director general, Mamodupi Mohlala, of powers to administer tenders because she refused to sign off on tenders linked to him or people close to him. The Communications Ministry has denied the allegations.
Chabane said police need to look into claims and investigate. “We should avoid a situation where we as politicians would interfere with the normal work of the operations of the authorities who have been given responsibilities. Our task needs to be clearly defined in terms of what it is we need to do, law enforcement agencies need to continue doing their work without fear or favour,” said Chabane.
