Police Officers Fired For Kissing While On Duty by harizonal123(m): 5:21pm On Oct 15, 2014 |
What could be wrong with kissing? Actually, nothing. But sometimes such an innocent expression of feelings could change your life forever. Especially if you are a policeman who likes to cuddle and kiss your colleagues while on duty. Two Tanzanian police officers may not have thought that a photo showing them kissing while dressed in their work uniform would end their careers. The photo that was widely shared on social media sparked hot discussion among indignant residents of the country. Two Tanzanian police officers dressed in their work uniform kissing while on duty As it was discovered later, the image was uploaded to the internet by a third officer, who also took the photo, and it drew the attention of the authorities at the Kagera police force, north west Tanzania. Besides, the officer behind the camera also was dismissed over the incident. The unusual story was meticulously covered by local media causing different kinds of reactions. Some people expressed their dismay while others said that the punishment for the police officers is disproportionate and should have been more lenient. Explaining the situation and stepts taken Henry Mwaibambe, the regional police commander, said, “We followed all disciplinary procedures to make sure that they were given a chance to defend themselves. The officer looking at the case was convinced there was compelling evidence against them, and that they had breached police code of conduct. That’s why they lost their jobs.” According to a lawyer at the Tanzania Legal and Human Rights Center, in this case it wasn’t the kiss itself that led to their dismissal, but the fact that that it happened in public, whilst in uniform, and was subsequently posted online. “They should have been reprimanded, sacking them is extreme, huuh!” posted one on Facebook. “Police couple kissing taken more serious than bribery,” wrote a third on Twitter.It also appears the photograph may have been taken back in 2012, but was only recently posted on social media.

I can hardly see they're faces but unfortunately when one is wearing uniform certain things cannot be condoned. But firing them is a bit dramatic hey. |
