“We do have certain procedures to follow, we cannot just get people dismissed, no. We have discipline procedures where we will go through public discipline proceeding and if we find them guilty, then that’s how we will deal with them. If we see the nature of that offence ongoing, then that may result to a more or serious punishment, but that is if the officer continues to be ignorant.”
