The Territorial Police in Busoga East has charged ASP Masinde Yaser Okot the Regional ICT Maintenance Officer, with discreditable conduct, which on conviction attracts punishment under the Police code of conduct that ranges from reprimand to a dismissal from the force.
The officer has a medical condition of diabetes and last week, his photos went viral, after he was found unresponsive in his compound at Muwayo village, Bugiri district.
He is on medication, but also continues to drink irresponsibly, despite several attempts by the Regional management, for him to seek treatment for alcohol abuse and also explore healthy ways of living.
After that incident, the officer returned to his village and resumed his poor drinking habits while in uniform and became a nuisance.
