In a scathing report, Chairman of the Police Complaints Authority (PCA), Justice (retired) William Ramlal has accused Police Commissioner Clifton Hicken (ag) of flagrantly violating the governing act and recommended that President Irfaan Ali put a stop to it.
“It is my recommendation that His Excellency the President makes it clear to the Commissioner of Police that he cannot continue to violate the law…” the PCA Chairman said in his 2022 annual report on the PCA which was tabled in parliament last week.
Reference was made to files done by the Police concerning the deaths of four persons involving police ranks which were never sent to him for investigations as mandated under sections 13 & 14 of the PCA Act.
