Africa-Press – Zambia. We wish to express displeasure on the continued attacks by Chishimba Kambwili against the Office of the Inspector General of Police.
Mr. Kambwili in a recent posting on social media platform is heard making assertions that the Inspector General of Police is a figurehead and that a named senior Police officer at State House is one running the Zambia Police Service.
We are forced to respond to his constant rantings against the Office of the Inspector General and other senior Police officers because this is not the first time he is issuing such disparaging remarks. We do not wish to engage him in public fora such as the social media platforms. However, we are watching him closely and analysing every statement he utters.
His attempts to sow division among the Police Command will not work because we work within the professional and legal boundaries as provided for in the laws of Zambia. Therefore, the Zambia Police Service High Command will not fall prey to Mr. Kambwili’s divisive tactics.
We wish to remind Mr. Kambwili that the Inspector General of Police is the one charged with the command, superintendence, direction and control of the Zambia Police Service and he is responsible to government. Therefore, the rantings by Mr. Kambwili are not only misplaced but misleading. We tend to wonder how knowledgeable his advisors are on Police administration.
If Mr. Kambwili is accused of having committed an offence, he should concentrate on preparing his legal arguments when called upon in an appropriate forum such as the courts of law so that he exonerates himself.
As a ‘leader’, we wish to warn that he should desist from making unwarranted and false attacks on the Police Command and the entire Police Service.
