Newly Promoted Police Boss Urges Citizens to Back President Hichilema
During a recent working visit to Nakonde, Deputy Inspector General of Police Fred Hamaamba commended President Hakainde Hichilema’s leadership, asserting that the nation is on a positive trajectory under his direction. In a meeting with district officials, DIG Hamaamba urged full public backing for the Head of State’s agenda.
The senior police officer explained that his trip to the border district was intended to align his command with the government’s development priorities and to better comprehend what he characterized as the President’s unambiguous vision for national advancement.
Hamaamba contrasted the current climate with the period preceding the 2021 general elections, stating that the administration’s reforms have yielded visible progress across multiple sectors. He contended that all citizens, irrespective of political allegiance, should recognize these gains, adding that even the government’s critics acknowledge the country’s positive shift in direction.
He openly declared his support for the President’s efforts to stabilize the nation and foster peace, attributing an improved sense of citizen welfare to what he termed committed leadership. The DIG argued that the President’s governance approach has alleviated past tensions that once fostered widespread uncertainty.
Reflecting on more challenging periods, Hamaamba recalled instances where police officers faced difficult working conditions, at times even being displaced from their homes due to political friction. He credited the current era of calm to the President’s consistent emphasis on rules-based governance and peaceful engagement, expressing a firm desire to avoid a return to former instabilities. He suggested that the continuity of the present leadership is crucial to safeguarding the stability the country now enjoys.
Shifting to operational matters, DIG Hamaamba outlined steps taken by the police command to enhance efficiency and service delivery. He noted that recent leadership changes within the service, including his own promotion and that of Charity Mung’anga to Deputy Inspector General for Administration, reflect the President’s confidence in the institution’s capacity to fulfill its mandate.
His familiarization tour, which included Mpika, Serenje, Mkushi, Chinsali, Isoka, and Nakonde, was described as essential for identifying operational gaps and assessing policing needs. He underscored the importance of close coordination between the police, local authorities, and communities to effectively maintain order and address public safety concerns.
Hamaamba concluded by calling on citizens in Nakonde and across Zambia to support the ruling party’s vision, emphasizing that such partnership is vital for sustained national progress. He urged the public to uphold peace, particularly as the nation prepares for future political activities, stating that a stable environment is the bedrock of economic development and national unity.
Bollocks to him !
Only because what right does he have to ask such Should he not have a neutral stance
maybe because his pay slip has been increases
He is now tainted like others
As expected, name should start with..
Ha
He is a serious joker.
Alefa, the officer is not a joker as you put it. From the time of Kaunda, and in all the countries in the eastern block, ail government workers are taken as part of the government machinery, and everyone is expected to interpret and speak good of the government of the day. Any hired government worker is expected to interpret and speak good explainingly to the General public,in his or community one is serving. I should also mention to all that any government worker that speaks negatively against the government that he or she is serving is treated as a special enemy. I socialist countries such individuals are excited by the firing squad. If you want go and be employed in Russia,, china or Bakina faso and speak negatively. The firing squad will be on you
Instead of the trip being designed as going to identify operational gaps, the spineless fellow starts campaigning. Very shameful and unprofessional. In the next 9 months he should not be anywhere near the Police
And you expect such a person who is saying the country was on the right trajectory, despite the country being on a very negative trajectory, to be fail when handling opposition parties? This one is a shameless party cadre
He cannot handle opposition parties with fairness. The Police service commission should immediately nullify this appointment. This is a recipe for anarchy. Anyway most officers have a fair, mature and independent assessment of what trajectory the country is in and cannot be swayed by one man of no to very little influence. The man is just wasting his time campaigning instead of working, let him just return the imprest
To back the same person who has lamentably failed? How?
This policeman,must be fired immediately other wise he is a UPND party Cader.Just from his name you can tell.
Mr Phiri with due respect to you, why should the officer be fired? Do you understand that every government employee is supposed to interpret, support and speak good of the government of the day? From kaunda, and in the eastern block nations, any government worker is taken as part the government program, vision and system and have to interpret and explain the government policy spearheaded by the serving president. as the vision bearer and chief national employment officer. Note that in Russia, China and Burkina Faso, any government worker that speaks negatively against the state especially the president, attracts the firing squad.
Thank you mr deputy inspector.,……….
The president needs loyal leadership in the crime fighting agencies seeing he is up against a cabal of tribal thieves , hell bent on……..,…
Usurping power by sowing discontent and lawlessness in Zambia……..
They have never gotten over the fact that a Tonga herds boy is ruling them……..
Their evil schemes even go as far as using the corpse of the late ECL as part of the destabilisation efforts………
We are here……..

Note that all civil servants are supposed to interpret, support and promote the vision of the government. Note also that every civil servant is employed in the name of the president. The president is the chief employment for the government work force And as a national vision bearer, he expects everyone employed to work with him according to his mandate to support and interpret and talk good of his government. However, the only part that may be wrong for a civil servant, is to publicly talk about the party matter. All company workers should talk good of their company. And government officials and workers should talk good of the government
Does supporting the government’s of the day by a civil servant include not being truthful by saying we are on the right trajectory when we are clearly not, with governance and economic conditions worsening by the day?
GRZ canot be likened to a company HH has learnt this the hard way
Neutrality should be emphasised
He is not a joker. All civil servants are expected to interpret, support and promote the vision of the government of the day. Every government worker must have a sense of belonging to government goals and vision in accordance with president’s policy direction. What is bad is for a civil government workers publicly advancing political parties matters. Otherwise, a solder and police officer highlighting the effectiveness and goodness of their commander in chief is good and encouraging to me.

“He suggested that the continuity of the present leadership is crucial to safeguarding the stability the country now enjoys.”
ECZ, have campaigns now opened? Totally unprofessional and unacceptable conduct from this guy
What do you expect from spineless Tongas ???
“He suggested that the continuity of the present lidarship is crucial to safeguarding the stability the country now enjoys.”
“He suggested that the continuity of the present leadership is crucial to safeguarding the stability the country now enjoys.”
“He suggested that the continuity of the present rulership is crucial to safeguarding the stability the country now enjoys.”
ECZ, have campaigns opened?
“He suggested that the continuity of the present ruler is crucial to safeguarding the stability the country now enjoys.”
Have campaigns started?
And does this mean those senior officers who see things differently can also now openly start campaigning to their juniors the way this one has started?
Indiscipline of the worst order
@Spaka
With your kind of reasoning Zambia will never develop….Law enforcement should be neutral….you can’t take sides….that’s very unprofessional….but unfortunately it happens even here in the USA….just like the Justice system is compromised
Law enforcement means enforcing the government/national law being presided over by the government of the day, particularly the president. You can’t run away from that fact. And note the police and the military wings, in every nation are controlled by the sitting president. If you want things to change. ama
ammend the Zambian constitution,and make it unique.
This police officer is a civil servant and therefore not supposed to come out publicly and talk about party matters. Just like the other dude who thought he owned RTSA. Coming out openly like that makes me wonder why someone with properly functioning gray and white matter would talk like that. Very unprofessional. When the next government retires you on public interest, you cry tribalism.
I can see this guy not lasting long in that office.
We know all civil servants belong to Political parties but they only keep it to themselves…but for this guy to come out in open and campaign for HH….i think he has some serious mental health issues….his Job is serve and Protect the public…not to be a vuvuzela for HH….how is he going to without being biased towards other Politicians if he is a UPND die hard
Let’s just endure till 2026
A very serious joker this chap. Where is the expected neutrality?
And do you think this chap can issue a permit to the opposition for a rally. Where is this country going surely?
Everything is by the word. Bakeshiba shani? Mulevoka. Umuntu avoka rightly to speak good of his boss, the chief employment officer and commander in chief,you start complaining. What a world!
Nonsense and very reckless talk . This kimuntu should know that he works for ALL Zambians and his loyalty is to the constitution and NOT TO ANY MAN in particular. Police MUST remain neutral at all times.
regional appoints all over the country almost all are from southern province why???
All you people talking about this police man should not be campaigning, bla bla bla……..
Welcome to Africa , the real Africa………
FWD2041
My expectation is that by now LAZ and other civic organisations have already written to the Police Service commission asking this chap to be relieved of his duty as his action is clearly against service written laws
Actually, it is a bit strange that a very senior police officer is struggling to see the difference between politicking and speaking for the police institution.
