Minister rejects warning over Vanuatu police recruitment plan

The acting Police Commissioner, Willie Ben Kalo, is against a proposal to replace the police commissioner in the recruitment process with an independent body.

He said it would provide a platform for greater political influence.

But Mr Napuat said the Public Service Commission would select a recruitment committee consisting of a member of the police human resources department, a member of the Police Service Commission, a representative of the Department of Local Authorities and the director of the Police College.
