POLICE SUSPEND ROADBLOCKS NATIONWIDE
…High Command orders immediate suspension of checkpoints, retains six key security points
By EMV Reporter
The Police High Command has ordered the immediate suspension of all roadblocks and security checkpoints across the country with effect from February 10, 2026.
The directive exempts only six designated security checkpoints in Chongwe, Kafue, Chisamba, Kafulafuta, Ndabala and Mpika, which will remain operational.
According to an official signal dated February 10, 2026, issued from INGEPOL-OPS to DISPOL Chinsali and Nakonde for the attention of all Division Section Heads, and marked ‘Priority,’ the instruction was signed by Assistant Commissioner of Police Kasonde Mwenya.
The signal, referencing ZPMUCHID 101/1/8 of February 10, 2026, states that the decision follows communication referenced as No. P/S of the same date.
The directive reads:
“ZPMUCHID 101/1/8 OF 10/02/2026 xx REFER to No. P/S OF 10/02/2026xx POLICE HIGH COMMAND HAS DIRECTED THE IMMEDIATE SUSPENSION OF ALL ROAD BLOCKS AND SECURITY CHECK POINTS COUNTRYWIDE APARY FROM THE FOLLOWING: CHONGWE, KAFUE, CJISAMBA, KAFULAFUTA, NDABALA. AND MPIKAxx ALL TRAFFIC OFFICERS ARE DIRECTED TO STRICTLY ADHERE TO THIS DIRECTIVE xx REGARDSxx//”
All traffic officers have since been instructed to strictly adhere to the new directive.
It might be that thieves can now transport gold and other natural resources without interruptions. Last time road blocks were suspended, 750 million USD worth of sugillite went missing, and a truck load full of mukula was found broken down. Thieves have now been given passport to operate, thanks to this dodgy decision to suspend road blocks.
REJECT TRIBALISM, CORRUPTION AND OPPRESSION.
VOTE FOR CHANGE IN AUGUST.
The cash dispenser for mashrooms which grew at every point has now been dissolved, but we have to really take a hard look at ourselves, we made this business flourish
Pa Zambia… Stealing while citizens snoring.
Why remove Police Check points?
Hakainde’s Zambia!
Why maintaining Chisamba and kafulafuta. Those are the ones causing long queues of congestion for motorists.
And now you are even intercepting police signals.Try Zambia Army or the OP.You will scream Shrinking democratic space
