Madam Deputy Chairperson, the last time we were together here in this august House, there was a question about the police station in Gingindlovu. So, I just got some feedback here about what the hon member Gamede raised about the shortage of vehicles and so on. It had been attended to. Thanks for that feedback. [Applause.]
Well, hon Ntwanambi, in December 2009, I instructed that a full audit of all criminal charges and convictions relating to police officials be conducted. As the hon member would understand, this audit needs to be comprehensive and as accurate as possible. I would ask the member to wait for the completion of this audit after which I will make a full comment on the issue.
The commission of any act which may also constitute a criminal offence is considered exclusion under the conditions of employment. As I explained earlier, I instructed that a full audit be conducted. Whenever legal and policy impediments in this regard are identified, steps are taken to rectify shortcomings, for example, the Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development has been requested to consider introducing legislation in Parliament pertaining to the use of lethal force by a police official to align legislation in line with the earlier judgment of the Constitutional Court. Thank you.
