Police officers have been warned to stop harassing and soliciting bribes from motorists and those who violate the law.
Gautam Sawang, head of the United Nations Police in the country( UNPOL) said Friday that police officers should not use their uniform as a bribe seeking and extortion tool.
The UNPOL chief said bribery undermines the security of a state thus officers should serve as role models against bribes in executing their sacred duties.
"As police officers serve the people whose taxes are used to fund your operations with respect to the rule of law. Live to their expectations by setting the best examples and don't compromise your job by taking bribes." he said following the graduation ceremony of over 100 police officers.
