IG Mutyambai on Police issues
A recent directive from the Inspector General of Police Hillary Mutyambai prohibited police officers from going on social media to highlight their frustrations.
The directive urged the officers to address their issues with the Internal Affairs Unit instead.
"The Inspector General has noted with a lot of concern that officers have developed a habit of using social media to advance their grievances without exhausting the laid down channels which include quality assurance/complaint and gender offices at service headquarters and the Internal Affairs Unit.
"Chapter 24 Section 55 of the service standing orders prohibits information transmission by members of the service on social media unless they can clearly be linked to the conduct of official business. It is also an offence against discipline under Section 6(w) Chapter 30 of the SSO CMM to disclose or convey any information on police matters without proper authority," he stated.
The IG also clarified that verbal discussions and press interviews are also prohibited.
"Sharing of information with the media whether verbally or otherwise must be done in accordance with the regulations. Serious disciplinary action will be taken against any police officer(s) found abusing the use of social media and sharing information with the press without proper authority," the statement read.
