CW calls for Dina Pule to be held accountable

Corruption Watch on Thursday called for the prosecuting authorities to act swiftly and ensure former Communications Minister Dina Pule is held accountable for her alleged unlawful conduct. 

The Parliamentary Ethics Committee found Pule guilty of among other things abusing her power and lying to Parliament. 

Corruption Watch Executive Director David Lewis said it’s quite clear that punitive powers are very limited. Lewis added that they are pleased that a recommendation that criminal be charges be investigated against her have been made.

We think that it should be done at the earliest opportunity and every effort should be made to recover the resources that have been abused on Pule’s watch.
