OpenKazembe Accuses ZRP of Corruption, Vows to End Unnecessary Foreign Trips
4 months agoTue, 03 Dec 2024 12:45:56 GMT
Home Affairs and Cultural Heritage Minister Kazembe Kazembe has accused the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) of widespread corruption and promised to put an end to unnecessary trips abroad by senior police officers.
Speaking at a hotel in Kwekwe during an annual strategic planning workshop last week, Kazembe criticized the ZRP for not having proper training programs and for a lack of discipline.
He also said he has not witnessed a police march-out parade since he became minister five years ago. Said Kazembe (via The Mirror):
There is a lot that needs to be done in terms of discipline of Police i.e.; corruption. It is now a norm for Police officers to ask for bribes.
We are losing lives because of the lawlessness on our roads and we need to do something about that.
The other area that ZRP need to look at is training, we no longer have training in the police which is why there is indiscipline.
I have never witnessed any pass-out parade since I became Minister of Home Affairs but Prisons and Defence are doing that.
Kazembe said he was shocked to see senior police officers making frequent trips abroad while junior officers lack basic uniforms.
He said he will not approve any Cabinet Authority for international travel this year. Said Kazembe:
Where are your priorities? Are you saying there is no money to buy uniforms but I sign Cabinet Authorities daily for people travelling abroad?
Set your priorities right, I am not going to sign any Cabinet Authority this year.

Matanga is the cleanest boss ZRP has had since independence. The problem is Zanu Pf. No civil servant operates by the book in Zimbabwe. Chihuri hated him because of his (Matanga's) professional approach.

Minister of Justice and Minister of Defence varikushanda ndosaka kuchiitwa ma pass out parades ( graduations) It requires the relevant Minister to loby for finances from Treasury to to recruitments as a substantial amount of money is required. The statement by the Minister is selling himself as an absentee Minister of Home Affairs. Its actually showing his incompetence as leader of the Police. Why did he recommend unnecessary trips to cabinet for the past 5 yrs. Is their any need to approve unnecessary trips if its not for corruption. Kazembe should be arrested for corruption

Fish start rotting from the head...... So who is the Head of the police department? I guess is the Horrible Minister of Home Affairs and Cultural Heritage. Ngugi, one of the finest wordsmith from Nigeria in his book The Problem with Nigeria, once said "The problem with Nigeria(which I can extend as well to Zimbabwe) is squarely falls on bad leadership"

Paaimbosaina aiti arikuitei if it was not neccessarily. He was actually authorising those trips. It cant be an offence if some constraints now exist. Why didnt he order Matanga to recruit police officers after giving him the money coz it not just training without cost i.e feeding, uniforms, salaries etc

MaPassout haangoitwi Minister. Kana munayo mari yacho vapei. Zvinoda budget yeRecruitment neTraining, Salaries, Uniforms, Accommodation and Equipment yokushandisa. What kind of a minister doesn't know that kindergarten fact. If it was a matter of just recruiting, Commissioner General would today be having 200 000 unpaid officers. Minister vachingoenda kumaPassout.

Police inongo recruiter here pasina mari yacho. It seems Kazembe is just an absentee Minister of Home Affairs. He seems not to be in sync with goings on in the ZRP. Manongoda mininster of the Police like in South Africa vana Kazembe wingoperera kuma kuzvitupa passport neku immigration

ZRP haidi chisimba. Haidi musoja inoda mutemo.

@Fox
All those problems in the ZRP emmanate from poor conditions of service, poor working environment. Imagine a Constable told to travel long journeys to do some work without travelling and subsistence allowances, to buy own stationery to compile dockets, no vehicles or fuel for operational duties. When allocations of travelling allowances are availed its the bosses who wipe away the cash by making irrelevant station visits. Former army bosses are firm and are rarely bootlickers and are not afraid of highlighting plight of their subordinates to the powers that be. Ukati ZRP haidi chisimba but mutemo its like you have just opened yo mouth and said nothing. Chisimba and mutemo are one in the same thing. Mutemo is rules, laws, regulations, standing orders, discipline, superiority, rank structure and chisimba is within that

Biting the hand that feeds you. Is he aware that the police think their job is to protect politicians and know that nobody worries about they treat the public to the point of getting bribes from the accuser and the accused? Is the minister in the right office if he starts wondering why he has not witnessed any pass out parade since he was appointed?
