Questions intensify over why the Political Killings Task Team was suddenly included in the probe, with Johnson hinting at a “hidden hand” steering the investigation. A critical dispute erupted over a disputed Section 27 affidavit, with State Advocate Drushantha Ramsamy and investigator Mantsha Raphesu revealing the version presented to the commission was altered — omitting key allegations. The fallout is already severe: three top IDAC investigators suspended, and a full overhaul of the directorate is planned, including lifestyle audits and case reviews. Hearings continue, with Ramsamy set to testify again and Johnson returning to face fresh allegations — and the authenticity of that affidavit remains the central battleground.
