The Ministry of Interior has notified citizens that headphones and loudspeaker are the only ways to use their phone.
Meanwhile, the number of citizens caught attempting to bribe police officers has increased. Vice Chief of Police, Rebani Jaupi, appealed drivers to not find the shortest way and bribe officers. “Citizens who are caught will also be punished by the criminal code in this case, so they must be cautious”, Jaupi declared.
