Construction of a K35 million police post in Kafue’s Mungu area aimed at curbing crime is now complete.
Mungu Ward councilor Obvious Mwaliteta told ZANIS in an interview in Kafue yesterday that government through the Constituency Development Funds provided money to construct the police post. He said the post will go a long way in curbing crime in the area.
Mr. Mwaliteta said that Mungu area in Kafue has been a crime spot for a long time where hardcore criminals from as far as Lusaka hide themselves. He also said the area was notorious for cattle rustling and expressed hope that residents will now live in peace.
Mr. Mwaliteta said the only thing remaining was the hand over of the building to the Zambia Police Service so that they can provide manpower. He said accommodation for the officer was already in place and the community is ready to support the police in reducing crime in the area.
ZANIS
There has been a lot of crime in Kafue lately, lets hope this investment will put an end to this.
The article refers to ‘accommodation for the officer…..’. Does that mean this police post will be manned by one police officer only?
