Vaki sacked, Baki is new PNG Police Commisioner

Geoffrey Vaki terminated 

PNG Police Commissioner Geoffrey Vaki has been sacked by the National Executive Council.  Prime Minister Peter O'Neill  said instruments are being set for his termination and also for the appointment of former police boss Gary Baki as new Police Commisioner.  The reasons for termination of Vaki were, a decline in morale among the force, lack of command and control, and continuous disciplinary complaints by the public .  The prolonged investigation into the Hanuabada killing is also highlighted by the PM as a reason Vaki is being replaced. O’Neill also says security preparations for upcoming events like the Pacific Games and the APEC meeting have become a concern to the government. Baki is expected to take office as soon as he can. Vaki is being sought for comments.
