IG Musamba may be vindicated and exonerated when he claimed “….the Police has some Junkies and Cadres not fit to be in the Poluce Service…. “
The Police should provide details of when and where this police officer was recruited so that we know if he is part of the junkies or not.
The police are not the only one who are soiled ,the agriculture, healthy, teaching and civil servants are a disgrace to say the least. The civil service is one which is spoiled because of the carders that were heavily employed by the then ruling government under both the late King Cobra Michael Sata and Edgar Lungu; to the PF government, employment was based on appeasement not on merit hence civil servants were employed with no proper consideration to one attending interviews and being scrutinized.we appeal to the new government to reposition themselves so that the bad seeds are weeded out from the service.
Does the police training school syllabus include how decent and respectable people consume alcohol? To entrust a loaded weapon to a drunken police officer is a very serious security risk. Inspector-General of Zambia Police Graphel Musamba has a point when he says that a lot of junkies were recruited into service without proper screening. This is not IG Musamba’s problem but a national problem because it’s the Republic of Zambia that gets embarrassed.
These are Musamba’s UPND junkies.
