The
Inspector-General of Police, Solomon Arase, on Tuesday appealed to the public
not to corrupt personnel of the police by giving them bribe.
Mr.
Arase made the appeal while fielding questions from journalists during a
meeting with senior officers on the issue of whether or not, bail was free.
“We
have a zero tolerance for payment of money to free suspect. I am appealing to
members of the public, not to corrupt my men; It takes two to tango.
“If
they ask you for bribe and you refuse to give, and you have avenues where your
grievances can be ventilated, I do not see any reason why you should give them
bribe.
“The
Commissioner of Police is there; the Area Commander is there; the DPO is there;
and the technical platform (to report corrupt policemen) is there.
“We
have opened ourselves to public accountability. So, you cannot now say the
whole problem should be blamed on the police force’’, he said.
