Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa must explain why
national figures of police officers without drivers licenses differ from those
given by the Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal legislatures, the DA said on Sunday.
“The difference in the national and provincial
figures raises concerns about the credibility of the minister’s reply,”
Democratic Alliance MP Dianne Kohler-Barnard said in a statement.
“It also leads to questions about possible
manipulation of information to avoid further political embarrassment for a
department besieged by one PR disaster after the other.”
