AWKA, Nigeria – Managing Director of Operation Clean and Healthy Anambra ,OCHA- Brigade, Comrade Celestine Anere, has threaten to deal mercilessly with any staff caught in unethical conduct while on duty.
He said that most of the personnel have formed the habits of collecting money, beating people while on duty, noting that the command can no longer tolerate such.
He said Ocha brigade is a clean, orderly, discipline and healthy enforcement agency towards cleaning up the state for healthy living .
Anere gave the warning on Monday while distributing 50 kg of rice to each of the staff across the three Senatorial District of the state at Command’s headquarters, Awka.
The Ocha brigade MD said that , he was going to activate a special monitoring team to monitor the activities of staff on the field , stating that member of the secret team will be sending pictures to him.
” This monitoring team is not going to be members of Ocha brigade. If any one is caught taking bribe, beating or involve in any unethical behaviour, I will dismiss him and before I do that I will show the person video where he was caught doing the wrong things.
Ocha brigade is not a breeding ground for you to be collecting money in uniform. Infact,it is a double penalty because you are disgracing the uniform. For most of you who have made up their minds to be collecting money ,it is better you resign because if I catch you ,I will treat you like a tout.
This is a festive period,the governor and Ndi Anambra expect you to show decency in doing your jobs and not misbehaving . Again,I will no longer tolerate you beating people like common criminals,if somebody commits an offence arrest him and don’t beat him or her. You don’t need to beat any person before arrest” he stated .
According to him, there must be discipline in the brigade if there must be way forward towards achieving healthy and clean Anambra .
He further warned those who are bent on tarnishing the image of the brigade to quite and stop destroying the good works of others.
Anere stated that henceforth , Ocha brigade will be ruthless with any body found misbehaving on duty.
“If you don’t want to be in the brigade please honorably resign because it is better you resign than be dismissed.
If you are sent to Eke Awka, I expect eke Awka to be free. If I send you to bridge head, I expect no hawker there, these are your primary duty, and not to be collecting N100,N100 from defaulters instead of doing your lawful duty, there by destroying the good work of your colleagues. Don’t allow N100 N100 bribe to push you out of Ocha brigade.
“When I came in as your MD of Ocha brigade most of you were receiving N35, 000,now how much are some of you are earnings now ?. Now that I am trying to make sure that everything that belong to state government,you will be accommodated ,you are paying back with betrayal and disgrace to the government and the uniforms” he said .
He also assured that he will make sure that staff welfare are adequately catered for as at when due.
According to him, the governor, Prof Charles Soludo has been gracious enough in providing the Christmas rice for all staff of Ocha brigade and he is expecting hard-work in return
