00:07good.
00:07The two arms, the police on one side, the lawyers on the other side are key, very, very crucial organs
00:15in the administration of justice.
00:17I mean, the police do the arrest, they do the prosecution, and then of course the lawyers come into the
00:24prosecution too.
00:25But there ought to be some kind of cooperation among the two, among the lawyers and the police.
00:31So that is actually what the Inspector General of Police stressed, and I think that is also something that should
00:36be welcomed, to be encouraged.
00:37There is no need for all this friction that we experience every time, whenever lawyers go to the police station
00:44to maybe bail out a client or something.
00:47It is just a question of both of them understanding that they are working for the same purpose, and that
00:52is to ensure that justice prevails.
00:56The police shouldn't be seeing lawyers as being impediments in their way.
01:00The aim eventually should be to ensure justice, and both lawyers and the police are meant to ensure justice.
