“VAKI TO EXERCISE POWERS” – Ruth Rungula
Acting Police Commissioner Geoffrey Vaki has urged everyone to exercise restraint and perform their duties without undue influence. Mr. Vaki’s comMen’s come after the National Court ruling yesterday.
He said he is responsible under Section 198 of the Constitution for the control of the police force as acknowledged by Justice Kariko. He also said that members of the force should not be subjected to directions by persons outside the force.
He further said he will independently assess and analyze the investigations that were carried out because he needed to be briefed to determine whether there was any undue influence on the investigation and the investigators. This, he says, is to ensure the case is watertight and can stand up in court.
He issued instructions yesterday for the case to be referred to the acting ACP crimes, Chief Superintendent, Donald Yomasombi, to further assess and analyze the case.
