A police inspector who is currently undergoing disciplinary proceedings before the Police Board this morning filed a constitutional application claiming that the regulations allowing the Police Commissioner to nominate the members of the board is in breach of the Constitution.
Inspector Josrick Mifsud filed the application against the Prime Minister, the commissioner, the Attorney General and the Public Service Commission (PSC).
Inspector Mifsud said the Police Commissioner had appointed the three members of the board in terms of the disciplinary regulations of the PSC. He said this was in breach of his rights to a fair and impartial hearing as the three members were police officers who answered directly to the commissioner, who had initiated the proceedings.
