“Equally, security officers who are lax or collude with criminals for cheap financial gain will be severely punished. We will not transfer such rogue officers anymore, instead we will sack and prosecute them.
I appreciate the effort of many of our security officers in areas that have for years faced the challenge of banditry and livestock theft. You are working in difficult and risky terrains, and your sacrifice is invaluable. I encourage you to continue with this spirit of dedication and patriotism,” he said
As he congratulated officers fighting bandits, he also promised promotion and state awards to those combating livestock theft in the country.
“Officers who help neutralise and thwart the menace of livestock rustling will be recognised and rewarded through promotions and other state honours,” he said
