THE Director General of the Directorate on Corruption and Economic Offences (DCEO), Mahlomola Manyokole, has sensationally accused Prime Minister Moeketsi Majoro and Law and Justice Minister Professor Nqosa Mahao of seeking to oust him to protect “corrupt” government officials and others from being investigated and prosecuted.
Adv Manyokole makes his damning allegations against prime minister Majoro and minister Mahao in court papers in which he seeks to interdict the moves to suspend him pending firing. He filed the court papers on Friday shortly after receiving a “show cause” notice from Prof Mahao why he should not be suspended pending the institution of a tribunal to probe his fitness to remain in office. He was given three days within which to respond but Mr Manyokole seems to have opted to pre-empt the any action against him by seeking a High Court interdict.
