Question NW4260 to the Minister of Police
14 December 2015 - NW4260
Atkinson, Mr P to ask the Minister of Police
Whether the SA Police Service has any embargos against any country for the procurement of any policing item; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, (a) which countries are embargoed and (b) why in each case?
Reply:
The SAPS does not have any embargos against any country for the procurement of goods and services. The SAPS, in terms of government policies, satisfies requirements by procuring from the local market but should a requirement arise that is not locally available the Department will enter into procurement actions directly with international companies.
