Police win LJS Shield
POLICE on Saturday reclaimed the
Perpetual Law and Justice Sector Shield from the National Judicial
Service, after a close win in points. They have won the inaugural
games back in 2005.
Bolstered by the presence of their Commissioner Gari Baki and
fresh recruits from Bomana, police showed their competitive edge
from the start.
Acting assistant commissioner for human resources, Francis Tokura
said, the police team were well prepared for the tournament.
“We came here to win and we have done just that. Our men and women
have been well prepared and the win has been the result of this,”
said Tokura.
Its training college commandant Kerry Frank was also present, to
cheer his recruits into winning the games.
NJS came in second, followed by Correctional Service, Department
of Justice and Attorney General, the Magisterial Service,
Ombudsman Commission, National Planning and Monitoring and Public
Solicitor’s and Public Prosecutors.
Police Commissioner Baki in closing the games said challenges to
address law and justice issues were numerous, and social outings
helped bring the sector together.
Baki said the agencies understanding of their roles of the sector
are crucial and the games he hoped reinforced this. He added that
the heads of the agencies or the national co-ordinating mechanism
were behind activities that strengthen the sectoral approach.
“On behalf of the NCM I thank you all for your participation and I
look forward to your continued support,” said Baki.
The 2007 sector games were described as the best since its
inception when agencies themselves had coordinated their own
arrangements.
“It is the best games we had since 2005. Everyone came prepared
with their families and the sector spirit are well and truly
alive,” said Cletus Ngaffkin, a member of the organising
committee.
He said the challenge was to transfer this commitment and
enthusiasm to their work places, and suggested further activities,
be made available.
Earlier, Chief Ombudsman Ila Geno opened the games saying that the
success of the sector depended on the commitment of its workforce.
And the huge turnout showed the willingness of the sector. More
than 2,000 people packed the Sir John Guise Stadium.
