Chihuri admits police officers are corrupt, blames drivers of offering bribes instead of paying fines
6 years ago
Police Commissioner General Augustine Chihuri admitted that some police officers mounting roadblocks are corrupt and a number of them have been dismissed from the police force. He however blamed motorists for offering to pay bribes instead of fines.
Said Chihuri:
I cannot deny that some traffic officers are corrupt and it takes two to tango. In most cases the drivers are the ones who offer bribes. We have introduced swipe machines, but still some motorists refuse to swipe and prefer paying bribes. We have dismissed some for engaging in corruption and there are no sacred cows. Anyone caught will be dismissed from the service.
FeedbackHe also said that the police are faced with inadequate funding and that money from roadblocks was insignificant compared to money from the minerals and border control unit.
