"Dickson Loyerer yesterday graciously volunteered to clean my muddy shoes after a tree planting session at NYS Headquaters where he works. Today we shared a cup of tea in my office, where he gave me NYS tips on grooming, discipline and skills. I have requested Loyerer to join my staff," Namwamba stated.
A video clip of Loyerer cleaning Namwamba's shoes went viral on Monday with a lot of mixed reactions from netizens.
In the video, the CS was heard asking Loyerer whether they accept a tip, an indicator that he wanted to reward the youth with a small token.
However, the NYS officer said they don't accept tips before he later shook hands with the CS after completing cleaning his shoes.
