Dr. Monday was lauded for his vision, professionalism, impartiality, and commitment to justice and human rights, which earned him deep respect across security agencies, civil society, the media, and the general public.
“Dr. Monday has been instrumental in ensuring effective and efficient case file management and creating a positive work environment that will continue even after his departure,” said RPC SSP Charles Nsaba.
