Directorate on Intelligence and Security (DIS) has been accused of attempting to unlawfully deduct monies totalling over P1.5 Million from its employees under the pretext that they are collecting legal fees for their then attorney Kgosietsile Ngakaagae and his firm Ngakaagae and Company.

This publication has established that at least 137 employees were served with letters which sought to deduct at least P1 548 305.50 from their monthly salaries.

Documents filed as part of a court case in which at least 137 employees of the DIS are accusing their Director General (DG), Peter Magosi of contempt of court. This was after Magosi and the DIS paid just P7.4 Million of the P10.2 Million, which was to be paid as salaries/ allowances arrears to 106 employees who had become part of the case challenging the arrears before the Intelligence and Security Services Tribunal.
