In a bid to end mischievous acts of illegal planting
of cases which are allegedly being practiced by unfaithful police officers
against innocent civilians upon their arrest within the country, the government
has asked people to immediately report such malpractices with full evidences. The
deputy minister of Home Affairs Hamad Masauni said this week in parliament and
appealed to the people that, if they confirm the existing of such malpractices
should they report to the authorities concerned so that the law should take its
own course against the defaulters.

legislator John Heche (Chadema)
The deputy minister was responding to the
question earlier raised by the Iringa urban legislator Rev. Peter Msigwa
(Chadema) who wanted to know why are there some habits by police officers in
the country who plant illegal cases against innocent civilians whom they
apprehend. The legislator cited an example of some inmates whom he met in
remand prison recently when he was leveled against with the alleged case
associated with staging an illegal demonstration and taken to court together
with other six Chadema members. The minister noted that, the court has procedures
which acknowledge any demand forwarded by claimant in court and judged in
accordance with evidences tendered before the court of law. Earlier, Tarime
legislator John Heche (Chadema) had a question which was raised in parliament
on his behalf by Kibamba constituency legislator John Mnyika (Chadema) and
wanted to know why police officers in Tarime district are fond of planting
illegal cases against culprits whom they apprehend.
