Police committee wants Nhleko to explain conflict with McBride
28 November 2016
Cape Town - Parliament's portfolio committee on police has summoned Police Minister Nkosinathi Nhleko to appear before it to explain urgent "inter-agency conflicts" between himself and Independent Police Investigative Directorate head Robert McBride.
"We need assurances that the executive is dealing with the matters at hand," committee chairperson Francois Beukman said in a statement on Monday.
"We need stability in our law enforcement agencies at all times and we cannot allow a situation where public confidence in these institutions is eroded by inter-agency conflicts."
Nhleko will appear before the committee on Wednesday.
