Security committees urged to reveal criminals in their neighbourhood

 

SHINYANGA Regional Police Commander (RPC), Mr Muliro Jumanne Muliro, has urged councillors in the municipality to use their security committee to reveal criminals in their respective areas by cooperating with law enforcers.

Mr Muliro, made the remark recently following several complaints from municipal councillors against law enforcers for failure to preserve peace in wards in matters that involve the whole society. 

 

Speaking to councillors, Mr Muliro, said that the issue of security and maintaining of peace needs to be supported by all from the street, villages to ward levels since the public stays with people who engage in crimes.

“Sensitise the public so that they can be ready to give cooperation to police because they know each other, if the community will be devoted themselves to the exercise it may be easy,” insisted Commander Muliro.

He also advised them to educate the public to provide assistance in courts once it is needed as witness in cases because failure for cases to get spectators causes some culprits to be set free by courts.

Shinyanga Municipal Council Deputy Mayor, Ms Agnes Machiya, speaking on behalf of councillors, praised the advice made to them by RPC in reminding them some crucial things they all had to implement.

She said that once they followed the advise made by the Regional Police Chief they would deliver the envisaged goal of ensuring peace and tranquility, ensuring communal harmony and effective participation in economic endeavour.

“We assure you that the community will give cooperation to police to ensure we end malpractices in our society so that our people can participate in their activities as usual,” said Ms Machiya.
