Respect the investigation process that is still being carried out by the police."If there are parties at fault, the matter will be handed over to the Attorney-General's Chambers."So, we are leaving it to the authorities to investigate and reveal the cause.
I'll leave it to the police." I'm in no position to answer questions on the findings of the police investigation unless I am the Inspector-General of Police," he told reporters at a press conference.He was asked to comment on calls for the government to reveal the contractor's name, amid concerns that withholding it could fuel negative speculation.
