Police Commissioner Gari Baki files an Affidavit to Exonerate Corrupt Justice Sakora
by JAMES PERAKIN
Gari Baki has become dangerous and destructive to the establishment of the Police Force under the Constitution. His latest move to file an affidavit in support of an application by controversial and corrupt judge Sakora is a testament to his erratic and dangerous behaviour.
Under the Constitution, the Police primary function is to arrest and lay charges against criminals. What Gari Baki is doing is to prevent the arrest and charging of criminals. Here are the lists of things he had done so far that are on public record:
1. Immediately after taking office, he supported and continues to do so, Peter O’Neill, James Marape and others to prevent the arrest of these individuals,
2. Suspended or terminated officers like Gitua, Eluh and Damaru to prevent the arrest of these high profile individuals,
3. Conspired with Tiffany Twivey to consent to stop the arrest of Daire Vele, Secretary for Treasury, in relation to the fraud involving purchase of two electricity generators,
4. He has shut down the National Fraud Squad Office for three full weeks (18 April to 9 May) as a direct reaction to Fraud Squad members arresting high profile criminals.
5. He is issuing directive that all future arrests to be vetted by him. One wonders whether that is constitutional. Imagine someone is about to commit an offence and a police officer has to seek his approval before arrest.
6. He has filed an affidavit in support to strike out a police case against corrupt judge Sakora.
Sakora admitted receiving payments from Paraka but claims that was for some commercial transactions. His continued presiding over the cases relating to Paraka including the issuance of stay orders are questionable and demonstrates instances of corrupt behaviour which Sakora admitted them. For the Commissioner of Police to go against that is very unusual.
Is Gari Baki in his right frame of mind? It seems like he is part of a syndicate too
