Magosi promises to stop ‘Hollywood style’ arrests

Magosi, who was appearing before the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) on Wednesday was responding to a question from Member of Parliament (MP) for Bobonong Taolo Lucas who had asked if the DIS could not question people silently without making all the noise. “The way you guys operate I think sometimes has a potential of even contaminating the psyche of the nation. There is that drama associated with the way you work like the sirens and the guys with guns. I think there is way you can go about your work quietly without attracting too much attention,” Lucas blatantly told Magosi.

For his part Jwaneng-Mabutsane legislator, Mephato Reatile said he is concerned by the advertisement DIS makes when they do arrests. “When you arrest certain people you inform the media. This was revealed when you detained the police commissioner recently. This causes embarrassment of the highest order in an organisation which Batswana had been giving a lot of respect,” he said.
