MP of Police Dianne Kohler Barnard said Minister Mthethwa must bring his
Department in line with our constitutional democracy and stop levelling threats
at South Africans who are committed to our Constitution.
Barnard said it is clear that the Minister
of Police, like his colleagues in the Security Cluster, are hell-bent on using
this unconstitutional law to hide details surrounding the inexplicable
splurging of hundreds of millions of rands of public money on President Jacob
Zuma.
“These comments are even more worrying if
one considers the steadfast refusal of Minister Mthethwa to reveal the list of
National Key Points, as I have asked him to do so in numerous parliamentary
questions” Barnard added.
