Pay ‘robbing’ DIS agents—Reatile :: Mmegi Online

Jwaneng-Mabutsane legislator Mephato Reatile asserts that the government should settle the long-overdue back payments owed to Directorate of Intelligence and Security (DIS) officers, aiming to curb instances of alleged robbery by these officers.

“You were here in December asking government to approve funds which you said was among others meant to pay outstanding debts. Look at the situation today, the country is being shamed because the police are no longer chasing thieves but they are now after DIS agents who have overtaken thieves in terms of thievery,” remarked Reatile to Finance Minister Peggy Serame in Parliament while responding to the budget speech today.

He highlighted recent reports indicating DIS agents being caught and implicated in robberies. Reatile further added that the Minister of Defence and Security, Kagiso Mmusi, is busy addressing a problem created by Kabo Morwaeng’s Ministry for the State President.
