Police Service Commission rejects suspension as unlawful, announces promotions

Paul Slowe

Contending that President Irfaan Ali acted unconstitutionally in their suspension, the Police Service Commission (PSC) Chair-man Paul Slowe and other commissioners yesterday proceeded to announce the promotion of 132 ranks.

The announcement followed a court ruling that dismissed a challenge to the promotions.

In response to the announcement, the PPP/C-led government yesterday rejected the promotions, calling them “unlawful and illegal.”
