THE handling of investigations leaves much to be desired. The reporting on investigations should be left to the Commissioner, Home Affairs Minister or one authorised spokesperson.
There should be no speculation or remarks by anyone else, only facts and that there are persons that are being sought in an ongoing investigation.
The President should not have spoken about the former chief magistrate until the police investigation was completed. This was not legally or politically astute. Too much unofficial information seems to come from inside the GPF that could hurt an investigation.
The showing of the spy equipment should have been done long ago and the Commissioner should have given a better accounting of where, when and how the equipment surfaced and not run out as if this had nothing to do with him. He should have at least stated that an investigation will take place when the US provided the requested information.
