Lusaka Province Permanent Secretary Elias Kamanga has called on the police to heighten surveillance activities to ensure compliance to Covid-19 health regulations in the capital city following a spike in new cases of the disease.
Mr. Kamanga said health security is critical as there is a complacency to adhere to public health regulations.
He said the police should enforce the law to prevent the spread of the disease.
He said this when new Lusaka Province Police Commissioner Lackson Sakala paid a courtesy call on him this morning.
He also advised the police to curb the smuggling of maize and maize products to neighbouring countries which he said is threatening food security in Zambia.
“I am confident that you are capable and competent enough to manage the security of Lusaka province especially health and national security,” he added.
He said that the Police Commissioner should not drop the guard in ensuring that the public is adhering to the Covid-19 health guidelines as provided by the Ministry of Health.
Mr. Kamanga said Mr. Sakala should join hands with the Provincial Administration in ensuring that there is compliance during the management of the second wave of Covid-19.
“The new Covid-19 strain is posing much more severe danger to our people and may I remind you that your office will be critical in ensuring that the Covid-19 compliance measures are taken seriously,” he said.
He reaffirmed that Lusaka Province is a critical region because it houses the capital city of the country.
“I implore you to take charge of Lusaka province in terms of policing. We may have the Inspector General of Police in our province but that does not mean our responsibilities should be absorbed.
Mr. Kamanga said 2021 is an election year coupled with the new strain of Covid-19 hence the need to be proactive.
And Lusaka Province Police Commissioner, Lackson Sakala thanked Mr. Kamanga for the guidance and pledged to execute his duties diligently.
Mr. Sakala was transferred from Eastern Province to Lusaka as Provincial Commissioner of Police taking over from Nelson Phiri whose contract was not renewed.
The Satanists are panicking
Witchcraft artefacts were found at an accident scene in Luapula province where seven people died.
According to information gathered by the Watchdog, Dr. Simon Mwale dispatched a Sangoma to the. Minister of health over the weekend.
Along the way, the sangoma and his crew were involved in this road accident but the Sangoma and driver escaped.

Police later arrested the driver for careless and dangerous driving and the Sangoma to help police understand what he was carrying in the car.
The minister was informed and he immediately instructed the police to release the suspects and told them to say nothing to journalists.
But police are refusing to badge especially that lives were lost.
Apart from these witchcraft missiles, police found huge sums of money in…
It’s not the job of police, you can barely manage crowds because you do not have personal, you are now adding a new role they are not trained for? Where do these leaders hail from? Such mediocrity, unbelievable

The huge gathering I saw at Granddaddys is worrying. A couple of people I know have since tested positive to Covid since New years weekend outings there.
They want a curphew so they can transport mukula, wild life, and gold unchecked to China.
We know all the methods PF use to syphon our natural resources.
Most of these so called police are quasi criminals and illiterates in threadbare uniforms starving and thieving and ultimately extorting from the public. So what are these fools going to actually be good for? If anything these parasites will spread the chink virus.
Covid should the least of our worries. More people in Zambia are dying of hunger and malaria. Covid is not our disease. It’s like having ebola in DRC and you are telling the people of England to quarantine and immunize
Awe mwandi some people need policing pantu even something simple they don’t want to do
