    • what a stupid way of reasoning indeed!, why putting your stupid comment if you don’t care???  It would be better to shut that cunt!!!

  1. Congratulations! You had been one of the most long serving disciplined service man and your music has been uplifting to help with the quality of life.

  2. CONGRATULATIONS DR SOLOMON JERE, YES INDEED YOU DERSEVE THAT, JESUS SAID, I SHALL LIFT YOU HIGH AS MY ROYAL SERVANT. UPND AND HAKAINDE HAVE SO MUCH HATRED ABOUT THIS MAN, NOW GOD HAS SPOKEN, THE DEMONS HAVE SCUMPERED, HAKAINDE NEEDS DELIVERANCE FROM TRIBALISM AND DISOHONEST.

  3. Jere is on his way out. The next we shall here is that he has been retired in national interest. I wanted this guy to be I.G.

  4. Whom is he going to appoint when he fires  his current wife that obese Kaseba – one of the bishop’s sisters, Masebo, Nawakwi, Suba??

    • Please have respect for elders. It does not matter  how much you dislike them they are elders and more responsible than you are. 

  5. Congratulations Dr. Solomon Jere! A well deserved promotion for a disciplined and long serving service man! God has put you higher, for his servants are rewarded so that his glory may be seen. Remain who you have been! we are very proud of you as your cousins! Farewell to Mr. Chingaipe, you have run a good race! By the way, some of the comments from bloggers are completely nonsensical! This appointment is about Dr. Solomon Jere and not president Sata! Shaaa!

  6. Congrats Dr. Jere! Just one thing Doc, you must ensure you personally coordinate the efforts of bringing the killers of Ruth to book. You have so far shown great interest in this case, and my worry is that the person who takes over from you may not show the same enthusiasm. Please ensure this case is brought to its logical conclusion. We want to know who the ‘big’ fish is in this case. Congrats once again.

  7. Yaba ! I bet this is the most unsafest position in Zambia.There is always a new face.Anyway for Solomon Jere i saw it coming way before he even came back from further studies.Congrats ba Jere.

  8. Ba SATA is our messaiah……dont wary abt his reshuffles….he is stll looking 4a formula dat wll work….Jere deputy IG,a gud appointment indeed…Congrats

  9. Good! It is better to fire than transfer inefficiencies around. To the new deputy IG congratulations and prove the critics wrong by doing the right thing! Most of us Zambians forget that you must lose your job if you do not perform – you keep it if you work; I don’t think that is rocket science; trouble is we have been redefining science of rockets for the last 40+ years…

  10. Ama guys balishuka twalekampena fweka no jobs, my Agric Degree is clocking 3yrs no Job, others are just changing jobs, good for you Jeres who have contacts na ba Sata. My close friend did computer science at Evelyn Hone but he’s employed as a clop marketing officer at Ministry of Agric as a technocrat NDELOLESHAFYE. 2016 ni voter aparthy

  11. So his breaking the law to disperse the UPND rally has paid off………if he did the right thing he would have been fired.

    The message: break the law with impunity and you will be rewarded!

  12. Anne @ #27, what are you saying? That Dr Solomon Jere is a ‘skirt counsel’?I thought that this accolade was reserved for Wynter, Mama mia,lock up all the women constables

  13. He has retired him in national interests! Well, yes as he Chigaipe has over his long tenure as deputy IG of police obstructed the course of justice several times. Notably, his handling of the investigations into his son’s ( who is also a police man)  killing  of a British tourist in the Garron areas in Lsk… Now is the time to probe him and send him to jail for abuse of office! Chigaipe lived in Chelstone police camp and his excellence just across the great east road in Avondale… So the President knows what he is doing… WATCH THE SPACE!

  14. Good Move Presido, though this guy could have been  a better IG compared  current IG. In fact, it would be better if IG’s had some background in ZNS or the Amy! 

  15. @Mushota#30
    You are still alive and kicking. For one minute, I thought the immigration authorities bundled you into one of their vans. Anyway who wants to know whether your late father had connections or not with influential figures. No one gives it a damn therefore, throw out irrelevant issues and tell us what you learnt today from your supervisor. Remember stop copying other former students’ work because it is against university rules. Do you even have a research topic you can write as your dissertation? Oops, for one second I had this subjective feeling that you and I are studying our post-doctoral master of science in pharmapsychology, a specialisation in prescribing medicine and treating other advanced choronic maladies. You remind me of this lovely colleague.

  16. once a metal always a metal, congratulations bwana, people with small minds fear of being fired but us metals do our best with what has been intrusted with us and are always prepared for tomorrow, God bless you.

  17. i wouldn’t lose sleep over the appointment if i were solomon jere bacause sooner or later he will also be fired like the rest. it is had to please the devil as he expects you to sin deeper everytime.
    solomon good luck to dancing to the drums of the evil one am sure by the time you are down with each other you will need total fasting and prayer to be delivered from the demons you will have acquired.

  18. That phrase “retired in national interests” is euphemism for “i really hate &
    can’t stand you so you have to go”.The inventiveness of these fake catholics is astounding.Anyway,Mr Jere i wish you well but remember its lonely at the top.

  19. this is sad this man is far from the cream of the police this is not at all the quality for that office rb wanted to put him as IG but after vetting him he has a lot of pot holes

  20. You are a block buster madala. Congratulaaaaaations……………! You deserve the promotion. I have followed your music and way you work. One day you gonna be the IG, who knows. But remember you are in a government of hire and fire; appoint and disappoint. That too I have followed. Just work hard before you get the boot. I liked Chingaipe too though a quiet man unlike when he was Police spokesperson way back. That time he could talk. I did not even know he was the Dep IG until he got the suck.

  21. Those who are close to Jere must tell him to pay rentals for the house he is occupying. The owner of the house is my close friend and Jere has been given an eviction letter and pay outstanding arrears. He is embarrassing himself and he thinks he is going to occupy someone’s house without paying he is cheating himself and the house was undervalued. Let the government give him accommodation so that the owner can put another person who is ready to pay. If he continues telling stories he will be forcefully evicted.

  22. Dr. Jere has been a disappointment since assuming the office of Lusaka Commanding Officer. He has abused the Public Order Act in favour of PF and that’s why he has been rewarded.
