Govt sniffs around DCEC

In a curious turn of events, the Minister of Defence, Justice and Security Ramadeluka Seretse assembled a three-man team late last year to investigate the institution that has recently been in the news for investigating high profile individuals and members of the political elite.

Sources say the investigation was done hurriedly and with little consultation with the DCEC itself. The head of the team is said to have been Graham Stockwell, the founding Director of the DCEC. Stockwell left the DCEC in 1997 after failing to renew his contract because of what was reported as his unhappiness at the interference by the government in the work of the organisation.
