The MP for Tonota South, Pono Moatlhodi says there are cases where the Directorate on Public Prosecutions (DPP) has withdrawn charges against certain individuals following orders from powerful people in the government administration. Contributing to the debate on the Appropriation Bill for the Ministry of Justice, Defence and Security, the outspoken legislator threatened to spill the beans.

He said he would even mention names. However, the Minister of Justice, Defence and Security, Phandu Skelemani assured the MP that everything is done above board. 
Moatlhodi also wondered why the DPP is still under the Attorney General's (AG's) Chambers.  He said it was never said that the DPP would be a unit under the AG.

He also questioned why the DPP does not have its own budget.
