The Comptroller-General of Customs, Hammed Ali has said he was not appointed to wear uniforms.
He said this while responding to an invitation to appear before the Senate on Wednesday in his uniform.
The Senate had earlier queried him for failing to wear uniform when he appeared before one of its committees.
In an interview with TVC, Ali said he was not appointed to wear uniform but to do his
job.
He wondered if the uniform would do the job or the individual appointed.
On complaints that the Customs has been indiscriminately searching vehicles, the
Customs boss said the agency is
empowered to search any area or residence suspected to contain contrabands.
