The Anti-Corruption Commission -ACC has launched the ‘No Bribes but Fines’ campaign aimed at eliminating corruption among traffic officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ACC <\/a>Director General Gilbert Phiri has disclosed the commission often receives several complaints against the conduct of erring police traffic officers soliciting bribes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Phiri says the number of unfit vehicles and unlicensed drivers on the road due to corruption has been on the increase hence posing danger on innocent road users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has since warned that any officer found wanting will be prosecuted because the Civil Service has no place for corrupt elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Mr. Phiri has challenged members of the public to desist from bribing uniformed men and women manning road patrols because the act is a punishable offence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently social media was awash when a named woman reported a traffic cop who was caught bribing a motorist but upon seeing the concerned woman the officer fled the scene and in the process dropped his official cap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
