Prime Min­is­ter Dr Kei­th Row­ley to­day sum­moned the Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice Gary Grif­fith to a meet­ing fol­low­ing a pub­lic spat be­tween the two over whether or not peo­ple found in breach of the pub­lic health or­di­nance can be ar­rest­ed on their pri­vate prop­er­ties.

In a post on Face­book page this morn­ing, the Prime Min­is­ter an­nounced the meet­ing.

He said: " Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice, Gary Grif­fith and Act­ing Deputy Com­mis­sion­ers of Po­lice Forde and Ja­cob at­tend­ed a meet­ing this morn­ing sum­moned by Prime Min­is­ter Dr the Hon. Kei­th Row­ley.

The At­tor­ney Gen­er­al Faris Al-Rawi and Min­is­ter of Na­tion­al Se­cu­ri­ty the Hon Stu­art Young al­so at­tend­ed the 10 am meet­ing which was held at the Diplo­mat­ic Cen­ter."

On Sat­ur­day the Prime Min­is­ter chimed in on the very pub­lic de­bate re­gard­ing the lack of po­lice ac­tion to res­i­dents of Bay­side Tow­ers who were re­port­ed­ly par­ty­ing at a pool, ex­ceed­ing the five-per­son lim­it.

He called on the Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice and the po­lice ser­vice to act, say­ing the laws were in place to do so.

How­ev­er, on Sun­day Com­mis­sion­er Grif­fith re­spond­ed say­ing laws must first be put in place for the po­lice to act.
