Minister of Home Affairs And Internal Security, Jack Mwiimbu has said that the ministry will recruit more police officers to meet human resource needs countrywide.
The minister says the ministry will work tirelessly to ensure public safety is NOT compromised, which will be achieved through the construction of more police stations to match the increasing number of people in residential areas.
He was speaking when he commissioned Kalundu Police Post in Lusaka’s Kalundu Township.
Mr. Mwiimbu has since directed the Lusaka Police Command to deploy enough officers at Kalundu Police Post.
Speaking at the same event, Mandevu Member of Parliament Christopher Shakafuswa said his office will ensure it constructs houses for officers that have been deployed at the police station.
About K667 000 Kwacha has been spent on the construction of the Police Station, whose works started in December 2020.
It’s not the number of Officers that is the problem. The problem is the attitude. Go to any police station you will find more than a dozen of them crammed behind counter. Talk of lack of transport is common but GRZ has been buying vans which end up being used for charcoal. You don’t need one thousand policemen to patrol Kitwe.
All PF confusion. Police full of cadres
The building of a police state has commenced
Please give police jobs to those girls playing soccer, why are you so fvking dull kanshi?
Please check Mumbwa road, Police road blocks are creeping back, they have also started that dangerous Ndola traffic police trick of walking in between moving vehicles which is very dangerous and also mounting road blocks without any signage, all in the guise of festive period patrols, with no signage they will be bashed,
Jobs for the Tonga and the Lozi, that’s their god given career
Pay the police officers well.Dont recruit but
Pay those who are already in service.low
Salaries make them start engaging in fraudulent deals.
That will be highly appreciated, hope we’ll now stand a chance to undergo recruitment
Ka kaizer, kabili, walelyumfwa. Now, we are coming to fix you in particular. You brutalized people, where are you now? In hiding best known to your stupid behavior. Not in any more in Bally’s Government! Yanyala!
#5 Moto.. your idea is good but remember like I said : ATTITUDE is very important. The first thing Sata did was to increase their salaries, increase the commissions, start building nice houses..did they get motivated? No, they even became worse. The Whiteman built police camps with all amenities and ensured the police men did not go out to mingle with civilians except when carrying out duties. Before reporting for work they used to do PELETE ( exercise and parade)… today this is just history in the archives. Get rid of the long process of the disciplinary procedure for the police and things will change.
