House Chairperson, the IFP would like to thank the services that Mr Mc Bride has offered to the county and to the department. However, there was no contractual obligation for the department or the Minister to renew the contract for the next five years and we would like to call on the department to actually begin the recruitment of the new director of the IPID as well as finalise the recruitment. We would also like to encourage the department to actually limit the political interference and root out the corruption that exists in some of the SAPS members. The IFP therefore supports this report.
