The Zambia Police has pledged to provide adequate security for both exhibitors and show goers during this year’s 86th Agriculture and Commercial show.
Lusaka Province Commissioner of Police Solomon Jere said the police has put in place various measures that are aimed at providing maximum security at the show.
Dr. Jere told ZANIS in an interview in Lusaka yesterday that the police was aware of the increase in the number of exhibitors showcasing at this year’s show.
He said for this reason, more police officers have been deployed to man the show grounds and make sure that there is enough security for individual persons, property, dignitaries and the exhibitors.
He also warned people that will go against the law that the police will be on high alert to deal with them.
Dr. Jere cited people that are planning to engage in illicit activities that would later disturb the peace of other show goers as among those that would be dealt with.
He said police officers will be put in strategic places so that law and order prevails.
The Lusaka Province Police Commissioner has also advised show goers to be security conscious and ensure that their personal items such as handbags and cell phones are adequately protected.
Dr. Jere said there was also need for the members of the public to take note of their cell phone serial numbers so that if they lose them, it will be easier for the police to trace them.
He also noted that members of the public should avoid mingling with strangers, moving at late hours and always use registered taxis for their own safety.
He said with the increase in the number of murder cases, there was need for people in the country to be security alert at all time.
He further cautioned parents to take care of their children to avoid incidents of missing children.
This year’s Agriculture and Commercial show will be celebrated under the theme “building on today’s prosperity” and is scheduled to run from the 2nd to the 6th of August 2012.
The show that will be officially opened by Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe has attracted over 1,000 local and foreign exhibitors.
Recently, Agriculture and Commercial show Society of Zambia (ACSZ) president Joseph Mwale disclosed that 80 foreign companies are expected to take part in the show.
Mr. Mwale said exhibitors from 18 countries namely, Egypt, Zimbabwe, Ghana, Angola, Nigeria, Seychelles, Tanzania, South Africa and Kenya are participating in the show.
