ANA reports that a total of 3,600 government officials were found guilty of misconduct as a result of information received through the National Anti-Corruption Hotline (NACH), a statement from the governance and administration cluster of ministers indicated on Thursday.
This resulted in the recovery of R410m from guilty parties between 1 September 2004 and 31 January 2017. Of the 3,600 disciplined for misconduct, 1,700 officials were dismissed from the public service, 447 officials were fined (many by not receiving three months’ salary), 137 officials were demoted, 921 officials were given final written warnings and 395 officials were prosecuted. “It is, therefore, evident that the NACH has yielded positive results, not only in terms of monetary value but also in terms of disciplinary action taken against perpetrators,” reads the statement. The Public Service Commission (PSC), on behalf of the government, manages the NACH.
