A policewoman with the Sexual Offence Squad in the Criminal Investigation Unit was arrested and charged with perverting the course of justice. Acting NCD Metropolitan Superintendent Mazuc Rubiang confirmed that First Constable Adriana Kamusunga was detained by the Internal Investigation Unit (IIU) on Monday, October 28th. She was charged based on evidence that her testimony led to the dismissal of Mr. Aiye Tambua’s case while it was still before the court. Superintendent Rubiang explained that, according to the police brief, it’s alleged that on July 9th, 2024, the officer swore an affidavit asserting insufficient evidence and errors in the investigation. “Her affidavit was presented to the court, and the case was struck out,” he stated. Rubiang confirmed that the case was still under deliberation when her statement caused its dismissal, impacting the charges against the Member of Parliament (MP). He thanked the Internal Investigation Unit (IIU) investigators for their effective work, which led to Kamusunga’s arrest. Rubiang emphasized that officers should not interfere with cases, stating, “I want to warn officers who do such to spoil the name of the constabulary to refrain from doing it." "Let the court clear defendants if they are arrested and charged." "When we are given a case to investigate, we must do it without fear or favour to make sure the victim and the complaint are satisfied." "We are not the courts, but we are the law enforcement officers.” Superintendent Rubiang commended the IIU and CID investigators for their efforts and said he hopes to see the case through to its completion. Kamusunga, released on K1,000 police bail, will appear in court when her case files are ready.
