Africa-Press – Zambia. Road blocks, a Syndicate of Corrupt Officers and Home Affairs Officials
A cartel exist that profits from the roadblocks especially against Minibus Drivers.
The cartel collects as high as K200,000 a day.
It’s a properly networked criminal syndicate.
The leader of the traffic police officers is seen buying breakfast and lunch and delivers the meals to offices at Lusaka Central Police and Police Service Headquaters.
Similarly money is shared from Lusaka Central Police , Service Headquarters and Ministry of Home Affairs.
That’s why every directive to stop roadblocks falls on deaf ears.
Minister of Home Affairs and Internal Security Jack Mwiimbu has issued bans against roadblocks. The repeated directives have been ignored-repeatedly!
I remember that everytime we held bilateral meetings with the South African Government, or held business meetings with the Captains of the Industry, the complaint of turn-around time for trucks and rail sent to Zambia and DRC was awful.
