POLICE Minister Bryan Kramer says the Royal PNG Constabulary is losing about K3 billion every year through corruption. He told a police parade in Goroka on Saturday that the money lost was needed for new vehicles, uniforms, housing, children’s education and better police pay. “All gone through corruption,” he told the policemen and women in Goroka “There is no other agency to fight corruption apart from police. “Under this Government, where I am the Minister for Police, we want to ensure you are given the resources and welfare you need.”
“At the (police) headquarters, they are stealing pension, money for new vehicle, housing, money for uniforms and the list goes on”. “Therefore, we need to reform the police force, we are soon launching ‘police station of excellence’ in Port Moresby and will be rolling out to the provinces and Goroka is one of them.” Kramer said they were reforming everything from the headquarters to the provinces. He said 500 officers were at retirement age of 65 and would receive their entitlements on the day they retired.
