I feared DIS - former minister Kebonang :: Mmegi Online

Former Minister of Mineral Resources, Green Technology and Energy Security Sadique Kebonang says the Directorate of Intelligence and Security (DIS) and its Director General, Isaac Kgosi are feared by everyone including high ranking government officials and all the way up to cabinet ministers.

The Member of Parliament for Lobatse who was subpoenaed to give evidence to the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) reviewing the National Petroleum Fund (NPF) corruption scandal told the committee that he approved the variation of the funds from the NPF because he was told that the national security was at stake.

He said that Kgosi and his organisation, the DIS are feared by all. He said that it was unfortunate that people are now facing criminal charges while they thought they acted in line with the Fund by allocating the money to DIS and subsequently approving the variation request.
