The junior officers believe their supervisors are nursing a calculated vendetta against them so as to cover-up their own misdeeds.
“Corruption in the ZRP is concentrated at the top. These guys are looting the police resources at will. They issued their wives with driving licences when police stations did not have drivers.
“That was a gross abuse of that facility. We will wait and see how they will proceed in their scheming. Our courts will not support this tactic,” said a constable at Bulawayo Central.
A chief superintendent at Police General Headquarters (PGHQ) said his senior colleagues were losing focus.
“The chefs gave themselves police cars. The same people are buying themselves a second vehicle each. The majority of these guys resold those vehicles at super-profits. Imagine a person buying a vehicle for as little as Z$1 500 and reselling it for Z$12 million a week later,” he said.
Asked to comment on the threatening radio message, chief Superintendent Oliver Mandipaka, said administrative police issues were not for public consumption through newspapers.
“A signal was despatched to that effect, but the details of it cannot be discussed through this forum,” he said. – John Makura, CAJ News
