He was addressing a gathering in the city and said that death is inevitable and everyone should speak the truth without thinking about the consequences.
“If people don’t want to report crime and still expect things to improve, then that is not possible,” he said, adding that a complainant was necessary to initiate inquiry.
Shedding light on problems faced by Karachi, Hayat said money was at the centre of everything that was wrong with the city.
“Some pay extortion willingly, while others are forced to,” he said, adding that multiple groups are involved in crimes and they all try to outdo each other.
He went on to say that militancy was the main way of politics in the city.
Speaking about the recent surge in killings of police officers, Hayat said the personnel are getting killed because they are chasing criminals. He further said that his force reduced murders in the city by 40% in the first few months since he took charge.
He, however, added that none of the arrested suspects has been tried. "The way our judicial system works should be considered when commenting on city’s security situation," Hayat said.
Referring to the Wali Babar case, Hayat said the hearings have been adjourned five times despite the court labelling it as a test case.

Citizens should stick their necks out while the police officials look the other way. Is this a joke?
all the people arrested by sindh police are innocent.Firstly,police should arrest the real criminals, instead of having friendship with them.
police already knows who are running all sorts of mafia, drugs ,land, bhata etc .Take action against them first. then people will trust police and come forward
We are ready to speak up. But is Sind Police listening??
Parliament needs to make changes in current laws to enable judicial system to put arrested suspects on trials and to punish them, if convicted.
@Saleem: The police would need eyes and ears only when all the known strongholds of the antisocials, which are probably known to most already are seen destroyed and the criminals put to task. Not the other way round.
Police needs eyes and ears of people to help combat crime. Unless people are willing to help and do their part police can do only so much and no one then should complain about crime.
Looking at organized crime at Karachi, police needs to come up with some kind of mechanism to protect identity of those who speak up so that no harm come to them.
