He said "We decided to assess ourselves from your perspectives. We have been tagged as unprofessional, corrupt and what have you."
"We are not denying that we may have some recalcitrant officers amongst us, we are doing all we can to pluck them out. But we will never accept that we are the most corrupt institution.
"It is unfortunate, all those researches are questionable. They have challenges," Dampare added.

The survey further reveals that more than 17.4 million bribes were paid in 2021 with police officers topping the list of officials who take bribes at 53.2%.
