The lawyer representing suspended police intelligence boss Major-General Firoz Khan has argued that discrepancies in Khan's medical certificates amount to an administrative error, rather than fraud. But the commission has challenged this interpretation, saying the letters from SAPS only requested outstanding temporary incapacity leave forms and did not instruct Khan or his doctor to alter medical certificates. The lawyer maintains there was a disconnect between the records and the source documents.

Retired Hawks head Dr Godfrey Lebeya has told the Madlanga Commission that he approved a request by KwaZulu-Natal Hawks head General Sonona for DPCI members to undergo polygraph tests. Lebeya says Sonona submitted the request as the provincial head, with the tests accommodated under DPCI directives and employment processes. However, the commission questioned why Sonona made the request while two separate investigations into the theft had already been commissioned. Sonona had also been responsible for the keys to the safe where the drugs were stolen, although Lebeya says he was unaware of this at the time.
