Commissioner refutes reports

CS Commissioner, Michael Waipo refuted recent media reports that CS warders refused to corporate with the investigating team sent to the Bomana to look into the abuse of leave of absence.

Waipo says that feedback was received from the staff as required by the investigating team.

 “That statement was incorrect and misleading. The staff were ready to respond and they gave information to the team.”

The assistant commissioner responsible and his team had actually picked up responses from staff and left with a lot of valuable information.

The team is now at the stage where they are to provide a report back to commissioner regarding their investigations with the staff at Bomana so a way forward can be established for the long run.

“This is the first inquiry into the internal investigations on the abuse of the LOA’s. The second inquiry will depend on the sanctioning from the National Executive Council.”

Waipo said this is because the investigation was taken out by the minister for attorney general and the CS minister to the National Executive Council.

“It is a matter at another level that we will have to await the advice depending on the decision from NEC.”

This second inquiry is expected to consist of a multi sector team to continue the investigations further for it to be completed.
