The Zambia Police Service Commission has promoted 150 police officers in Southern Province to various ranks.
Commission Chairperson, Peter Machungwa said the promotion is as a result of exceptional performance and prolonged stay in one rank.
Dr. Machungwa was speaking in Choma after the Commission concluded a tour of Southern Province to interact with officers on a number of issues pertaining to their welfare.
He said the tour was aimed at putting into operation the provisions of the decentralization policy as provided for by the constitution Act number two of 2016 and act number 10 of the Service Commission Act.
Dr. Machungwa has further disclosed that following the tour of the province, the Commission has established five human resource management committees in the Police Service and one in the Immigration Department to look into the welfare of officers.
This country will be divided like I don’t know by 2026. Paying back to the tribalists
Very stupid comment Henry. Just shut up id!ot
Ba re[porter pehaps you owe us information on : Why 150 in one province? What are the numbers in other provinces?
Have police been promoted in ot6her provinces or its such Southern Province.
Why Southern Province only ? LT kindly shade more light on this development.
When I warned you about voting for upnd, people called me Crazy and tribalist and now here is the evidence. I told you effing dogs! Tribalism in upnd is the norm.
Who effects promotions? Is it the Police Command or the Commission?
Let’s not make noise just now. It’s too early. Maybe they are doing it province by province. Next they will move to another province.
Police command like the IG and the Commission are all appointed by the president.
Machungwa is only trying to appease and please the source of his appointment.
Lets wait and see if these promotions happen elsewhere. Otherwise, this would be something of concern.
We have 10 provinces in Zambia they could have picked or promoted 15 from each province. Praise singers should not cry foul when people call UPND A TRIBAL party.
More space.We need more saturation?
What is tribal here. Machungwa and his Commission were in Southern Province. These PF tribalists here wanted to hear that, while visiting Southern Province the Commission promoted 150 officers in Luapula province.
Was this really NEWS or deliberately meant to agitate the Public and play to the narrative of tribalism.
