Minister Ali Sabry yesterday appointed a five-member committee to look into the unrest which erupted at the Mahara Prison, advising the committee to submit a full report on the incident with recommendations.
While thanking for appointment, DIG Rohana in a letter to the minister informed that at present he functions as the Police Media Spokesman and conduct regular media briefings in respect of the current issues including the Prison issue.
"If I act as a member of the above Committee, it would be a conflict of interest and I would not be able to conduct media conferences. Hence, it is suggested to appoint another officer to the committee probing the issues of the Prison," he said.
