Isaac Kgosi has been the subject of the Directorate on Corruption and Economic Crime (DCEC) investigation allegations ranging from illegal acquisitions of properties and using the Directorate of Intelligence and Security (DIS) funds for himself.

He has been the subject of investigations since 2011 and he says the investigations against him never ceased. In his notice of motion in which he sought to be given his property back, Kgosi noted allegations he was investigated on related to:

* The DIS being engaged with Power Force Company in construction projects worth millions of pula without following procurement procedures and the director of the company, Nsingo Jere, being actively involved in private projects of the Director General. * Large sums of money were being deposited into Kgosi’s private accounts under unclear circumstances and some of the transactions being deemed to be official government funds. * Payment of funds from Debswana to Silver Shadows (a company solely owned by Kgosi) under the guise that the funds were for DIS operational purposes. * Receipt of corrupt payment by Kgosi through a trust account held by Collins Newman & Co, from Vlatacom, a company engaged in various projects by DIS. * Living beyond means evidenced by Kgosi’s acquisition of multi-million pula properties within a short period. * Africintel being engaged to train DIS operatives at an initial price of P15,450,177.60 but figures escalated to more than P40 million.
