COPPERBELT Province Police Commissioner Joyce Kasosa has bemoaned the shortage of accommodation for police offices in the area.
Ms. Kasosa says this was mainly due to some retired police officers’ reluctance to vacate police camp houses on retirement.
She said retired police officers were often refusing to be repatriated with police vehicles and instead opted for repatriation in monetary form which takes long to be secured and in the end results in shortage of houses for serving officers.
ZANIS reports that the provincial police commander said this during a meeting with senior police officers at Kitwe Central police in Kitwe, yesterday.
She added that families of deceased officers in the camps also tended to take long to vacate the police houses which she said further worsen the issue.
Ms Kasosa attributed these tendencies by the retired officers to vacate the camp houses on retirement to lack of preparation.
She said police officers it was unfortunate that most police officers do not venture into building of their own houses in preparation for their retirement.
And Kitwe District Commissioner Elias Kamanga urged the police service to find a solution to the delays by retired officers in leaving camp houses so that serving officers are not inconvenienced.
He said earlier his office will not support the prolonged stay of retired officers or families of deceased officers in the police houses.
very articulate and intelligent officer,her message is timely.
So who exactly are you blaming for that gross indiscipline of retired personnel, don’t you have a policy guideline regarding this matter?
An appeal to our listening govt please give our police officers longer leave days as this will allow them more time to arrange personal matters, senior officers are always denying leave to their subordinates also better pay for police is needed while other GRZ officers in the ministries and defence including ZAF, Zambia Army and ZNS have had improved conditions of service nothing has changed at the Police, please ba Govt let’s improve Police service of conditions which includes pay and working atmosphere.
This is a very silly statement by this prostitute, u surely cannot blame it on the officers coz it is hard to imagine building a house of ones own from those peanuts they get, just coz she has opened her legs to make her enough money to build her own house doesn’t mean everyone can, very useless chap
just vacate the house than calling a person who gives you advise as prostitute its due to your poor timing leave the house for serving officer finish.
THis is very bad language.
