Speaker, the IFP calls on the National Police Commissioner, Riah Phiyega, to urgently investigate why convicted drug dealer, Panganathan "Timmy" Marimuthu, and his family are still on the payroll almost two years after their dubious appointments as crime intelligence agents were uncovered. The fact that two years have passed and his family is still being paid salaries evidences corruption at the highest level. Since they were implicated in corrupt activities linked to former crime intelligence head, Richard Mdluli, and his former chief financial officer, Solly Lazarus, the Marimuthu family should not only be removed from their posts, but should also be ordered to pay back all the monies they have received over the past two years.
It is clear that there are others linked to these issues who authorised these payments. They must also be exposed, arrested, charged for their part in paying these salaries, and prosecuted. Thank you.
