Why check the police only?


I READ with interest the government’s decision to set up the Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC) to replace Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission (EAIC). Any mechanism in place to check and balance an organisation is indeed laudable.

Nonetheless, why only specifically for the police department? There are other numerous enforcement agencies in the country where misconduct of officers is also prevalent that needs to be curtailed.
