SEVEN traffic police officers countrywide have been dismissed from service for corruption as the force steps up measures to stamp out the vice.
The seven were reportedly dismissed on 12 December.
In an interview on the sidelines of a traffic police anti-corruption drive in Bulawayo yesterday, the national Deputy Officer Commanding Traffic, Assistant Commissioner Kenny Mthombeni, said 30 police officers, including the seven, had gone for disciplinary hearings this year.
“The remaining 23 officers are still going through the due processes and if any of them are found guilty, they may also be dismissed,” said Asst Comm Mthombeni.
He said the officers were mostly accused of soliciting for and accepting bribes.
“We will not tolerate corruption in our ranks. There are no sacred cows in the matter. Anyone who breaks the law will suffer the consequences,” said Asst Comm Mthombeni.Hokonya hearing fails to take place again
