ActionSA demands urgent investigation into Crime Intelligence's R22.7-million luxury hotel purchase
ActionSA on Monday demanded an urgent Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) investigation into Crime Intelligence's reported use of about R23-million of taxpayer funds on purchasing a luxury hotel in Pretoria.
ActionSA MP Dereleen James noted a News24 exposé, in which South African Police Service (Saps) Crime Intelligence, spent a staggering R22.7-million on a luxury boutique hotel, “misusing funds meant for covert operations in what is, by all accounts, an egregious abuse of police resources”.
She said, shockingly, the revelation came at a time when Crime Intelligence was grappling with resource constraints, leaving the division exposed to critical inefficiencies.
“…consequently, officers are severely under-resourced and unable to perform their duties effectively, while Saps’s crime detection and prevention efforts are severely hampered by gross mismanagement and blatant abuse of power and resources,” she stated.
