The IFP expressed its deep shock at the reports that documents relating to the to forensic investigation into the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Agriculture, Environmental Affairs and Rural Development have gone missing, which may lead to the escape of those Service Providers and staff implicated in acts of corruption. The story of the missing documents was revealed by the Acting Head of the Department, Siddiq Adam before the Finance Portfolio Committee on Friday. Tabling the Motion in the KwaZulu-Natal Legislature today, IFP MPL Mntomuhle Khawula said:     

"This House;

1.    Is deeply shocked to learn of the missing documents at the infamous Department of Agriculture, which could lead to the escape of those Service Providers and staff implicated in acts of corruption.

2.    Is suspicious that this is part of a deliberate ploy to sabotage the legal process and save the alleged culprits. 

This House therefore resolves to:

To urge Premier Mkhize to urgently institute a Commission of Inquiry into how these documents have been lost with a view to bringing to book, whoever may be responsible."
