He congratulated the newly-promoted officers, saying that they now had greater responsibilities.

“Officers should not be seen fighting on the streets. You must keep off assault and you should not exchange words with your subordinates.

“Take advantage of the generosity of the service because promotion is not a right, but a privilege.

“I wish all the officers will make Customs proud and try to be the change agents,” he said.
