He said the commissions mandate include appointment, promotion, and discipline of all police officers except the Inspector-General of Police.
According to him, we are committed to collaborate with the media to ensure proper working relationship with the commission and in extension the police force.
He said that he had also held similar stakeholders meeting with relevant bodies to ensure a seamless working relationship with the commission.
Arase said that the commission had agreed that there was need for synergy between PSC, the police and the media to ensure a properly motivated friendly working atmosphere.
He said there would be constant training between police and the media for interface to ensure proper working relationship for the good of the country.
He said they were ready to change the negative narratives about the frosty relationship that had existed between the commission and the public, adding that the commission had been very silent in recent times.
Responding, the NUJ President, Isiguzo, congratulated the Arase on his appointment, adding that the union would work with the commission to ensure success.
