‘Shy away from all forms of discrimination’

The Namibian police inspector general Joseph Shikongo has urged police officers to shy away from discrimination when carrying out their duties.

Shikongo said this at the inauguration ceremony of Tutaleni Police Station at Walvis Bay on Wednesday.
He said he is disheartened when he sees or hears people being discriminated upon because of their tribal, ethnic, regional or racial backgrounds.

“This is one of those very dangerous diseases that destroy nations, regions, towns, villages and homes. I am, therefore, urging all police officers to shy away from all forms of discrimination,” Shikongo said.
