The government has called to punish IDAC head Andrea Johnson and not let her her walk away from her mistakes following her immediate resignation.
The government has been called to take real disciplinary action against Advocate Andrea Johnson, who recently resigned as the head of the Investigating Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC), and ensure that she does not escape accountability by merely walking away from her job.
Civil society organisation Corruption Watch said it is dismayed and disappointed that yet another anti-corruption organisation built by the government has proven to be flawed, adding that the government must ensure that Johnson does not get off with “merely” a resignation.
The organisation said appropriate punitive measures should be applied regardless of her resignation.
Johnson on Sunday wrote a formal letter to President Cyril Ramaphosa and the National Director of Public Prosecutions (NDPP) Advocate Andy Mothibi, requesting to vacate her office immediately and have her three-months notice period waived.
