The Democratic Alliance has called for an immediate investigation into Police Minister Nkosinathi Nhleko offer of R20 million to suspended Hawks boss Anwa Dramat, in exchange for early retirement. 

DA MP of Police Dianne Kohler Barnard said this is the latest frantic move by the minister to try everything to get rid of an independent Hawks boss, whose investigations strayed too close to President Jacob Zuma. 

Kohler Barnard said she knows the law in due process is not on their said in this matter. The minister is now attempting to pay R20 million of tax payer’s money to get rid of Dramat. Every illegal and frantic attempt to purge Dramat has becomes increasingly clear the minister is being pressured from the very top.

Kohler Barnard continues to say it becomes more apparent that his handlers at Luthuli House wants Dramat gone by any and all means necessary without the guard for due process or the rule of law.

“It is not Dramat’s misconduct that parliament should preoccupy itself with but rather the minister’s blatant disregard for law and do processes that must be met with swift and decisive action” Kohler Barnard added.
