Police and Immigration Officers have been warned against engaging in corrupt activities.
Zambia Police Service Commission, Chairperson, Peter Chingaipe, warns that those found wanting will face severe disciplinary action in line with government policy to zero tolerance on corruption. Mr Chingaipe said this when he and other senior government officers paid a courtesy call on Nchelenge District Commissioner, Ivo Mpasa at his office today.
“Officers must continue maintaining law and order for the sake of peace and security the country enjoys, “he said.
And Mr Mpasa appealed to the commission to consider sending more staff and construct decent accommodation for men and women in uniform.
A clergyman in Kawambwa District has bemoaned the continued use of youths by political players as vessels of violence every time the country experiences polls.
Bishop Chanda Musa of the Pentecostal Assemblies of God Church laments that it is unfair that politicians who should be preparing the future of young people are responsible for ruining it.
ZANIS reports that Bishop Musa was speaking during a Church service which was attended by Luapula Province Minister Nickson Chilangwa, Kawambwa Town Council Chairperson Kalumba Chifumbe, Kawambwa District Commissioner James Kalumba and his Nchelenge counterpart Ivo Mpasa.
Bishop Musa has since appealed to political party leaders to resist the temptation of recruiting youths to engage in violence in order to advance their political causes.
