PRIME Minister James Marape is confident new Police Minister Bryan Kramer will implement plans to restore public confidence in the constabulary.
“We will be asking him in the first instance to restore credibility in the entire police hierarchy,” Marape said.
“It’s not only the commissioner or few sections of the force but the entire structure which is dysfunctional at the moment.”
Kramer said morale in the force was low.
“We need to revamp this area and we will give him total support to make sure that police officers are proud of their duties,” he said.
“They must work with pride and dignity and the restoration of the rule of law comes with effective policing.
“He will come under the watch of the Deputy Prime Minister Davis Steven.”
Marape urged people to assist the constabulary in its work.
“I’m calling on the public talking about corruption and mismanagement issues (to) bring evidence to the police,” he said.
“Your talk must be balanced with evidence.”
Marape urged the people who have any issue with “anyone including me” to present evidence to the police in the proper way to help in the investigation process.
“When our time is up in two years when we go for elections, we will leave behind an effective functional and better police force than the one we have today.”
