The Chief Political Commissar in the Uganda Police Force, AIGP Asan Kasingye has warned police officers of looming dismissals from the force for anyone implicated in corruption scandals.
Speaking to officers from Bukwo, Kween and Kapchorwa, yesterday as he began his rectification and ideological orientation tour in the Sipi policing region, Kasingye warned that the force is now going to be strict on issues to do with corruption.
Kasingye warned that if any officer is implicated in bribery and other corruption-related incidents, they will not be transferred to another district as it was before, instead, they are going to be tried and if found culpable, shall be dismissed from Police.
Many police officers have at various police stations been implicated in soliciting for money to offer some of the services which are ordinarily supposed to be free like the police bond.
Kasingye insisted that police officers should reach out to the communities and listen to their problems in a bid to find a solution.
