IPCMC a watchdog for better policing


THE postponement of the second reading of the Independent Police Complaints of Misconduct Commission (IPCMC) Bill to the next Parliament session has come as no surprise since the police have, of late, begun to gradually show semblances of resistance to the formation of this watchdog body.

This should not be the case as the IPCMC in due course would transform the police into a more respected and trusted arm of the criminal justice system and would be less pressured to appease the Executive branch of government.
