I thank the hon member for his question. Mr Gatsheni, in putting forward his question, put emphasis on the identified wrongdoers in the Police Service, in other words those who are guilty. Are urgent steps being taken?
I think here he is referring to the investigation by the Public Protector after a complaint was lodged. He said he suspected that something did not go accordingly; he did not say the investigator must investigate the person who committed a crime. The difference lies there.
The investigator investigates. [Laughter.] If she arrives at a conclusion, then she says she discovered that something did not go accordingly. Then she presents a report to government. This is the report we are talking about here, asking what happened to it. It is different, Boya Benyathi, from saying someone did wrong like someone who committed a crime, who must be pushed aside; this one is different.
There is someone who had suspicions, requested an investigation and the matter was investigated. If the report is compiled and it shows something might have gone wrong, then it is given to the relevant authorities so that proper action can be taken. The difference lies there, Gatsheni. That is why in respect of the matter under discussion no action was taken, unlike with other people in respect of past instances. [Applause.]]
