Oxymoron all through. He is an MP, meaning he is also part of government. Do these politicians think we are stupidd?
I was travelling from Kitwe to Lusaka today, there were 7 road blocks between Kitwe and Ndola. Can GRZ deal with this issue urgently. Its slowly becoming Tanzania were there is a roadblock on every 20 km stretch.
To give up the “easy money ” they are used is like giving up one ‘s life.
Police are taking advantage of the innocent motorists.chingola police traffic officers are the most corrupt and its like their bosses are not aware.its very sad indeed
S/he is sharing from their ups of the day

Kanganja and Kampoyongo can’t control Traffic Police. I challenge them to give us an WhatsApp number and see how many videos and images of rogue officers they have.The money in Bribes is too much to give up.Now Garden Police are creating a 2km traffic congestion as they mount 5 or 6 roadblocks on Katima Mulilo/Garden Rd crossroads daily in full defiance of Orders.This is done knowing that nothing will be done to them as Division Commanders and higher also share the loot.Zambia Police can’t be redeemed.
Just within Lusaka, we do not have a say..they think that we do not have school children.. They get too much Cash.. Help Mr. President and wings in charge..
