AfricaPress-Tanzania:<\/strong> PRESIDENT Samia Suluhu Hassan has called on the Police Force to amend various laws of the force, to protect the basic rights of citizens and reduce crime in the country.<\/p>\n

Samia made the call in Dar es Salaam yesterday when opening the Working Session of Senior Police Officers, and Regional Police Commanders.<\/p>\n

She said the time has come for the Police Force to sit down with other stakeholders to look into the possibility of amending the law, including the detention of detainees, as well as the detention period.<\/p>\n

She said in other countries no one is arrested until the investigation is complete, but in Tanzania, many cases are stuck in court due to delays in the investigation or lack of sufficient evidence.<\/p>\n

Samia said statistics show that there are a large number of inmates in prisons who appear to be stuck due to delays in investigations, thus depriving people of their rights and that some soldiers are accused of misconduct, misconduct, and misconduct.<\/p>\n

In addition, President Samia commended the Police Force for its recent decision to set a six-month investigation limit for small cases and one year for major cases.<\/p>\n

However, the President called on the Police Force to build capacity in ICT issues to address new forms of crime and encouraged them to strengthen ties with other Police Force and International Police Institutions.<\/p>\n

He also called on the Police Force to strengthen ties with the public so that they can easily get information because criminals are involved in citizenship.<\/p>\n

In another development, President Samia has received the credentials of five envoys representing their countries in Tanzania including Hamisu Umar Takalmawa (Nigeria), Binaya Srikanta Pradhan (India), Wiebe Jakob De Boer (Netherlands); Madina Diaby Kassamba Ganou – (Burkina Faso) based in Nairobi, Kenya; Gaussou Toure ( Guinea) based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
