Police IG lauds IK Charitable Trust for solar-powered water pump

Zambia Police Inspector General, Graphel Musamba, has commended IK Charitable Trust for donating a solar-powered water pump to Roadways Police Post in John Laing of Kanyama Constituency.

Mr Musamba, who was represented by Kanyama Police Station Officer in Charge, Superintendent Clarence Mpande, described the gesture as a major boost to service delivery and community welfare.

 Speaking during the handover ceremony, Mr Musamba said the donation will significantly improve access to clean and reliable water for officers at the post and the surrounding community in the constituency.

Mr Musamba added that the solar-powered water pump is more than just equipment, describing it as a lifeline that will enhance both living and working conditions at the police post.

He said the donation is an important milestone in strengthening partnerships between the Police and cooperating organisations committed to community development.

Speaking at the same event, IK Charitable Trust, Administration Manager, Mohammed Lambat, said the donation is part of the organisation’s Water and Sanitation Aid Facility, which focuses on improving basic services in vulnerable communities.

Mr Lambat said access to clean and reliable water is not a luxury but a necessity, as it supports health, prevents disease and enables institutions such as police posts to operate effectively and serve the public with dignity.

He explained that the donation includes a newly drilled borehole up to a depth of 20 metres, a solar-powered pumping system with panels, a storage tank, borehole-to-tank piping, double garden taps, renovated toilet plumbing facilities and office furniture.

Mr Lambat noted that the intervention is intended not only to improve water and sanitation but also to enhance the working conditions of officers stationed at the post, as well as members of the public who access services there.

He commended the leadership and officers at the Roadways Police Post for their cooperation, which he said made the project possible.
