The police union this afternoon spoke against information they received on moves to replace Police Commissioner Gari Baki.
Union president Lowa Tambua says removing Baki will destabilise the command structure of the force as well as damage all the good work that has been done by Baki in the last seven months since he has taken office.
Lowa says this is not the right time to make another change as Baki is also spearheading a massive modernisation program. His stance on zero tolerance of corrupt practices has also made a positive impact.
The issue of national elections is coming up and a change of guard, according to Lowa, will really affect the force and their preparations.
The union argues that the force will be instrumental in the security of the country and should be left to run its administration without interference at this critical time.
