-Rohee urges cops
Addressing some resistance to the ongoing police reform, Home Affairs Minister Clement Rohee has told junior and senior officers that they need to “get on board” in order to make the police force responsive to the demands for an improved performance.
Speaking at the Police Officers’ Annual Conference on Thursday, Rohee emphasised that while there are many challenges accompanying the institutional reform of the force, the opportunities created far outweigh the negatives.
