He said there was the need for them to be of good conduct and show professionalism while carrying out their duties.

The chief said his administration would have zero tolerance for corruption, hence the need for officers and men of the service to shun all forms of corruption.

“Indiscipline will no longer have a place in the NCS. We must have officers and men with impeccable character to promote the image of the service,” he said.

According to him, anyone caught falsifying any documents or compromising with fake imported goods will also be dismissed and jailed.

He told his audience that the service has resolved that anyone caught in an unprofessional conduct, no matter the circumstances, will be dismissed and jailed for the offence. Enditem
