DCI dismisses claims on 7 detecives allegedly forced to resign

The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has rubbished reports doing rounds on social media alleging that seven of its officers were recently forced to tender in their resignations at the sleuths' agency.

In a Twitter statement on Wednesday, the DCI confirmed that the officers did in fact leave the agency in August but did so of their own volition.

"Like in any other progressive institution, resignation of staff to pursue other interests in life is well provided for in the National Police Service, under the NPS Service Standing Orders (SSO)," reads the DCI tweet.

"Therefore, the officers reported to have resigned did so under the 24-hour rule on diverse dates last month and were not forced to leave the service as alleged."

According to the DCI, the seven former officers cut ties with the agency in order to pursue different careers in the country's private sector.

"The detectives who were based at different specialized units within the Directorate, left to pursue their careers in the private sector as financial investigators, fraud experts, IT specialists among others," said the DCI.
