The denial follows a report alleging that the NPA had been blocked from accessing crucial data from the State Capture Commission for over two years.The Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Development has refuted claims that the National Prosecuting Authority’s Investigative Directorate has been unable to access critical information from the State Capture Commission report.
The Justice Department’s spokesperson, Tsekiso Machike, said they have noted the “misleading and factually inaccurate media reports.” “The Department holds these assets on behalf of the South African State, government and people. This mandate arises from the custodianship of the Commissions Act, 1947, residing with the Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development,” Machike said.
“The Commission continues to supply and support all law enforcement agencies and other entities with data and information, as and when requested. Further, there is a Secretariat that continues to manage the data centre and support all law enforcement agencies and other entities in accessing the database.
