"If in the process, you allow people under your instructions to violate human rights, abuse people and disrupt the smooth running of society, you have to take responsibility. And I believe that what has happened has sent a signal to the people in the security forces, people that have plans of just access in power through the back-door, to think twice before they impact on such action. So it has had a useful purpose and I think, like I said it is going to put an end to the circle of impunity, of which people are doing things."
