They are just salary collectors but not observing crime amongst their colleagues,\u201d he lamented.<\/p>\n<p>Ndeitunga reminded police officers that they are getting paid to protect government properties and the nation but not to commit crimes.<\/p>\n<p>He also said they have established a new policy to ensure that government fuel is protected, including those using government fuel cards.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to make sure that those thieves in uniform are no longer going to take advantage of government cards at the service stations,\u201d Ndeitunga said.<\/p>\n<p>He stressed that the aim of the new implementation policy is to prevent the government properties from being abused and easy tracing of suspects.<\/p>\n<p>The police chief urged station commanders to carry out their duties at all times and to be more vigilant whenever officers are using fuel cards.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/namibia\">Namibia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Namibia.
