No quick fix to police, army problems

I agree with letter writer Mohamed Khan that there is “No quick-fix to police, army problems.” The heads of security forces should be questioned more and made accountable for the services’ performances.  The government needs to create an independent investigative unit to support the work of the Police Complaints Authority.  Perhaps, it would be better if civilian prosecutors are used instead of police prosecutors for Police court cases. 

The Defence Board should be more involved in monitoring GDF complaints and disposition. It is best that the services are not the sole investigators of themselves.  As stated it is the minority that stains the majority. The GoG have a responsibility to ensure that the security services are carrying out their duties effectively, fairly and in a transparent manner, this is not political interference but ensuring their accountability.
