Ousted leader of Opposition Mick Beddoes said the police could not satisfactorily perform their task of catching thieves.

“So suddenly the junta can afford to now turn them into delivery boys whose mere presence at a home will intimidate people,” he said.

“Have we forgotten what eight cops did to one escapee recently? And what of their past actions in the deaths of innocent people?”

Mr Beddoes said it was not the role of the police to be part of the teams that go around to promote the Charter.

“No, this is not the role of the police and neither is it the role of civil servants,” said Mr Beddoes.

“All the people participating in this exercise must be taken to task and charged with breaching their work conditions with the Public Service Commission.

“And what has the PSC to say about this? Nothing I presume, because they too are compromised and are part of the junta and will have to answer for their actions when we finally clean this mess up.”
