    "content": "That newly appointed Inspector General of Police (IG) should understand that in fulfilment of his constitutional mandate under Article 245(2), he is supposed to exercise independent command of the Police Service. Under Article 245(4), he is not supposed to receive direction from any person, to enable him investigate any crime against any person. If we go further to Article 49(h) the police have powers to release a suspect on bond pending presentation before court and a charge being preferred. Why should you arrest a Senator, who does not pose any flight risk; keep him in police cells, in very inhuman conditions for two days and then release him without a charge? Our forefathers and leaders who passed on after the year 2010 must be turning in their graves; wondering whether we are still under the old constitutional order. That is not the way the police should conduct business."
