NATIONAL ASSEMBLY
QUESTION FOR WRITTEN REPLY
25 SEPTEMBER 2009
1422. Dr H C van Schalkwyk (DA) to ask the Minister of Public Service
and Administration:
Whether he will release information related to corruption and
mismanagement as recorded by the National Anti-Corruption
Hotline; if not, why not; if so, (a) when and (b) where will the
names of perpetrators be made available?
REPLY :
(a) Information related to corruption as recorded by the National
Anti-Corruption Hotline (NACH) was released by the PSC in its
report on âMeasuring the Effectiveness of the National Anti-
Corruption Hotlineâ. The report was tabled in Parliament on 18
June 2009. This report reflects emerging trends in the reporting
of alleged corruption as well as the challenges and successes in
managing the NACH.
(b) Since the NACH records information on allegations of corruption,
it is only fair not to release the names of the alleged
perpetrators while such allegations are still being tested. This
is done in order to protect the integrity of the investigation
processes.
