Booysen said he was approached by Brig Lawrence Kemp, the police's provincial head of financial services, who indicated that there appeared to be irregularities with the acquisition of certain services in the police. “She told me to stop the investigation. She had the right to give me instructions, but not to tell me to stop an investigation. That, in my view, was an unlawful instruction,” he said.He said he received another call from Ngobeni on May 8 2010.
