The Democratic Alliance criticised the Police Ministry for an upcoming National Police Day event.
DA’s Dianne Kohler Barnard officials in several provinces have raised concerns with the DA over the enormous cost of the event, which will include meals, accommodation, transport and entertainment.
“We understand that numerous station commissioners are fuming over the likely impact on crime-fighting operations over the three days when officers are away.
“In Langa Police Station, for instance, the event will apparently leave just 20 of the station's 80 active officers on duty.
We will submit parliamentary questions to establish the exact costs of this event at the very first opportunity, and we will ask the Minister of Police to justify an event that clearly carries with it so many untenable costs.
