'Every policeman was a civilian and will return to civilian life after retirement as I have since I retired some seven years ago.'
, Solomon Arase, was at the Presidential Villa on Wednesday where he spoke to reporters.
I’ll ensure that they start having confidence in themselves. With more training, the trust gap between members of the public and the police will be bridged. That is what I want to do; that members of the public will collaborate with the police force; see them as part of the larger society. The benefits that are derivable from good conduct as a police officer, they will continue to reap it when they retire. So that is what I will emphasise.
What I think we should do is that each of the parties should not learn to take everything. There must be negotiation, empathy and respect for each of our roles.I will expect that the commission allows the IGP to exercise his operational control over the police. And that the IG himself will respect the constitutional powers of the Police Service Commission. So, there must be mutual respect between both parties. I don’t foresee any crisis at all.
