Home Affairs minister Lieutenant General Ronnie Shikapwasha has warned that he would not hesitate to dismiss from the Drug Enforcement Commission (DEC) any officers found divulging information pertaining to the operations of the commission to the suspended DEC Commissioner Rayan Chitoba.
Lt. Gen. Shikapwasha says he is aware of officers in the commission that are undermining the authority of the acting commissioner Peter Chingaipe and have continued leaking vital information to the suspended DEC commissioner, Mr. Chitoba, on a daily basis.
The minister said this at the official opening of the DEC 11th senior officers conference in Siavonga today.
Lt. Gen. Sikapwasha said it is wrong for any officer to leak information to Mr. Chitoba who has been suspended by the president to pave way for investigations into his alleged corrupt practices at the time he saved as DEC commissioner.
He said divulging information was an act of undermining the authority that the president has vested into the acting DEC commissioner whom he described as an effective officer capable of driving DEC to greater heights.
Mr. Sikapwasha called on officers to exhibit the highest levels of integrity and discipline and ensure that they work hand in hand with Mr. Chingaipe in advancing the operations of the commission.
And Acting DEC Commissioner Peter ChiNgaipe bemoaned lack of transport saying the commission needs to acquire a new fleet of motor vehicles to enable it execute its duties effectively to expectations of the public.
Mr. Chingaipe further said that inadequate and sporadic flow of operational funds has negatively affected the operations of the commission.
Another instruction from Dr. Chuchu!
Yebo Mr. Chitoba and he supporters must watch out. Let Task Force and ACC do their work. We want this country to have a clean record and walk upright again. No sacrificial lambs. Time to clean the dirt linen
#1 What is wrong with that. Your PF President CHIMBWI SATANA is having a torrid time with Kafupi you must rush to his aid instead of commenting on normal issues
DEC IS AN INVESTMENT COMPANY WITH MWANAWASA AND MMD HORDINGS,THEIR ARE DESPERATE WITH WORK AND MONEY ,SUPPORTED BY CHINESE GOVERMENT.
