Ramsamy Alleges IDAC Staff Intimidation

State Advocate Drushantha Ramsamy from the Independent Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC) has told the Madlanga Commission that IDAC's operational manual was routinely ignored under former head Advocate Andrea Johnson. Ramsamy testified that Johnson frequently deviated from established procedures and that staff who questioned her instructions faced intimidation, internal investigations and workplace hostility. He also alleged that decisions were often changed following discussions between Johnson and former IDAC official Dalip Perumal, and claimed the working environment drove many prosecutors and staff to seek counselling through the National Prosecuting Authority's employee wellness program
