Uganda, Feb. 10 -- The Kampala Metropolitan North Regional Police Commander, ACP Gerald Twishime, is irked by police officers soliciting bribes from people for bonds.

On Friday, ACP Twishime said he has received complaints from several people that a section of Nansana Police Division officers have made it business to ask for bribes from suspects before they are released.

"I'm going to investigate the police officers and if proven, we shall give them transfers," ACP Twishime said in a security awareness meeting at Yesu Amala in Nansana before launching an operation to crack down on thugs.

He emphasized that police bond is a free, calling on the public to report errant officers seeking bribe for the constitutional right.
