Not all top cops have security clearance, MPs hear
The police have revealed startling figures in Parliament of its top brass who have no security clearance, but continue to serve in their posts. This left MPs surprised as a number of senior officials in the police structures have not been vetted and others have refused to be vetted.
National Police Commissioner Khehla Sitole said it would now link the employment contracts of officers with security clearance. Phillip Mhlongo of the EFF said he was concerned about the lack of action against those who were refused security clearance and those who refused to submit applications to be vetted.
