Shadow Internal Security Minister

Opposition concerned over vacuum in police command

Wapunai said that Central, Enga and East Sepik Provinces currently do not have Provincial Police Commanders following the announcement of the transfers of existing ones.

“There is now a huge command vacuum in those three provinces”, he said.

Wapunai said that what is more alarming is that experienced and competent senior officers from the Central Command in headquarters are being transferred to smaller provinces which is creating a vacuum in the national command and control structure.
