After creating the posts, Senator Isaac Magagula colluded with the Executive Command to loot over R100 million meant to increase salaries for junior cops in the year 2014, the money was shared by the senior officers through a highly questionable salary increment.
As a result,Government is now collectively owing the junior officers about R2billion in respect of a salary increment including a back-payment calculated from 2014, the officers were promised Phase Two(2) in that year.
Efforts to reach the former National Commissioner proved unsuccessful at the time of compiling this report as his phone was not available on the network.
