Proham welcomes new IGP’s commitment to setting up the IPCMC — Ivy Josiah and Kuthubul Zaman Bukhari
MAY 6 — The Society for the Promotion of Human Rights welcomes the assurance by the newly appointed Inspector-General of Police Abdul Hamid Bador who wants the Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission to serve both “the men in blue and the man-on-the-street”.
There has been resistance that the proposed IPCMC will not only have investigation powers but issue disciplinary measures and recommendations if the investigations reveal misconduct, abuse of power and/or corruption. There is no argument here, the IPCMC must have both investigation and disciplinary powers otherwise it will be a toothless commission.
Proham would like to offer its expertise and commitment to work with the Ministry of Home Affairs to ensure that the proposed IPCMC be effective and observe the following principles such as the composition of the IPCMC may not be drawn from retired or serving police offices.
