Police Minister Bheki Cele has a few months to inform MPs of his preferred candidate to take over the helm at Ipid.
Johannesburg - Police Minister Bheki Cele has a few months to inform MPs of his preferred candidate to take over the helm at the Independent Police Investigative Directorate .
This would allow MPs to deal with the appointment of a permanent head at Ipid. Former energy minister Tina Joemat-Pettersson chairs the portfolio committee on police. She took over from Francois Beukman, who did not return to Parliament after he was not included on the ANC list of candidates. If the committee and the House approve Cele’s candidate, the candidate will take over the reins at Ipid.
The Helen Suzman Foundation entered the fray, and took Cele to court over the procedure to appoint the head of Ipid. The foundation said politicians should not be involved in the appointment. About a month ago the foundation noted that Parliament did not amended the Ipid Act despite the Constitutional Court giving MPs until September last year to do so.
