The Director of the institute therefore emphasized that the officer who made such unverified claim has been sanctioned accordingly by the Institute for the misrepresentation.

Bakut maintained that it is part of the IPCR mandate to interact with communities and explain the importance of peace in the society, he added that expression of personal opinion at a public fora is seriously frowned upon by the Institute.

The Director General of the Institute has therefore called on the general public to disregard the information in such publication as it does not represent the official position of the Institute.
