REINTRODUCTION OF SECURITY CHECKPOINTS OPPOSED
By Patricia Male
The Zambian Highway and Safety Group has opposed the reintroduction of security checkpoints at strategic locations in the country.
In response to the escalating challenges posed by criminal activities and to bolster public safety, the Zambia Police has announced the reintroduction of security checkpoints at strategic locations in the country.
But Zambian Highway and Safety Group Admin, Mthoniswa Banda argues that the presence of traffic police officers has never been beneficial to the motorists but have instead contributed to congestion on the roads and slowed down economic activities.
Mr. Banda also says the presence of traffic police officers in most cases benefits them as they syphon money from motorists especially, public transporters.
He says the return of these checkpoints has nothing to do with safety or security concerns and has urged government to completely do away with the checkpoints and maintain the electronic system such as speed cameras and motorized road patrols.

So this same group, very quiet when the Government was being attacked by pf and it’s idiotic bunch of minions for removing the check points and then attacks now for reintroducing? I think this group is still part of the pfidiots so they achieve their usual when it comes to Government and any decision it makes, ” damned if you do, damned if you don’t”!
Is a traffic or security check point? Is it ignorance or stupidity to talk about traffic officers when the concern is security? STUPID IDIOT.
