POLICE Minister, Clay Forau plans to order an investigation on high ranks subordinate officers after the appointment of the new Commissioner.
It was reported earlier that there was no trust and confidence to the leadership of the current senior police officers to move Royal Solomon Islands Police Force (RSIP) forward.
Forau told Parliament when responding to Member of Parliament for Aoke Langalanga, Mathew Wale during the scrutinisation of the Police’s budget in the committee of supply.
However, Speaker of Parliament, Sir Allen Kemakeza had to intervene to stop Opposition discussing the issue because it was out of the issue of budget estimate.
Sir Allen warned the MPs to stick to the budget estimate and not ask question outside of it.
Prime Minister, Gordon Darcy Lilo also intervened saying there was procedures to be followed for the investigation.
However, Wale said the question had to do with machinery of Government’s work.
“We want to know what polices is done. So I think it’s valid and common sense, we are not trying to make it difficult,” he said.
But Speaker, Sir Allen said he had already made a ruling on it.
Solomon Star understands subordinate police officers of the RSIPF who for over the years are the ones fallen victims to this poor leadership which is a contributing factor to lack of public trust and confidence in the RSIPF today.
The Subordinate officers called on the NCRA government to intervene and change the senior officers who have criminal offences against their names but are yet leading the force without any actions taken against them.
They said the public has no trust and confidence in the work of the national security of the country because the leadership of the force and its decision makers are making mockery of the force.
PM Lilo anticipated that a new Police Commission will be appointed soon after the completion of the selection process.
