Confusion over McBride's R2m legal fees
21 October 2016
Cape Town - Parliament’s police committee on Friday called for confusion over a R2m debt incurred for Ipid head Robert McBride’s legal fees, to be resolved.
The Civilian Secretariat for Police spent this money by contracting legal services on behalf of the Independent Police Investigative Directorate (Ipid).
Democratic Alliance MP Zakhele Mbhele said the problem was that the money had already been spent.
“The secretariat is saying ‘We paid for you’. Ipid is saying ‘We didn’t ask for it’.”
