The outgoing District Police Commander (DPC) of Oyam District, SP Francis Okongo, has advised police officers to supplement their office work with farming as a way of reducing the temptation to solicit bribes from suspects or complainants.
Speaking yesterday at Rainbow Hotel–Oyam during his farewell, Okongo urges officers not to rely solely on handling files, which can expose them to unethical practices, but to venture into farming as an additional source of income to ease financial pressures.
Okongo also applauds political leaders of Oyam for the cooperation that prevented the district from registering any election-related crime during the just concluded election period.
This week, the Inspector General of Police transferred Okongo from Oyam District to Kabalagala Police Station after serving in Oyam for eight months.
He will be replaced by SP Sydney Aikoyo, formerly of Kabalagala.
