Zambia under the worst Zambia Police Service leadership ever

There is no need for this misplaced and childlike zeal and excitement from the Zambia Police Service high command.

By Dr. Fred M’membe | SP leader.

Lusaka, Aug. 9 – This is what happens when professionalism, values, and principles are lost or are sacrificed on the altar of political or career expediency. There is no need for this misplaced and childlike zeal and excitement from the Zambia Police Service high command.

As an essential part of our state security apparatus, they are expected to be non-partisan and defend the Constitution as well as the interests of the police officers and staff under their command.

So let the Zambia Police Service high command sober up and preside over the affairs of our police service with maturity and impartiality. This exaggerated zeal and partisanship being displayed is totally unnecessary, especially when one is serving under a directionless, unstable, and one-term government such as this one.

I still urge Mr. Hakainde Hichilema to honour his election promise to police officers and staff. If he doesn’t, they shouldn’t worry too much because 2026 is not very far away. Their Socialist Government will give them a sense of dignity.

Let the Zambia Police Service high command know that we voice out on issues that are topical and emanate from our leadership and party structures countrywide. Even this issue of remuneration and conditions of service of police officers and staff arose in response to the frequent appeals and complaints our party leadership and structures countrywide have been receiving regarding this matter, which is long overdue.

And it’s not in dispute that the Socialist Party support base within the police service and the entire civil service is growing exponentially, so this government can only ignore us at its own peril.
