Police chief makes first appearance before TRRC

Without wasting time the lead counsel quickly explained to him what the commission request of him saying: “You are called here to provide certain documents that have been requested from the police. And because you are the police boss, you are being asked to produce certain documents before the commission. Ordinarily, we could have asked the commanders of the various police stations to provide the materials but because of the importance of these materials, the commission deemed it necessary to make the request directly to the inspector general of police.

“The commission would also wish to crave your indulgence to provide some basic information on the protocol of diary keeping in police stations. So, you have never been mentioned before this commission for anything. So, I hope that would allay all fears and put concerns to rest.”
