Luapula Province Minister Calls For Professionalism Among Police

Government has urged the newly appointed Luapula Province Police Commander Sharon Zulu to ensure professionalism among police officers her in the province.

Luapula Province Minister Derrick Chilundika highlighted that their regional Policing services were not being run efficiently and in line with new government standards.

When visiting Mr Chilundika late last week Mrs. Zulu was reminded that the Police are not there to serve politicians but rather the Zambian people. The Provincial Minister explained that she would need to make this message clear to the local police and make sure that they improve their service delivery.

Mr. Chilundika stated that the first issues that need addressing was how the police force were going to attack the problem of illegal mining of manganese in the province. Mrs Zulu said she will do her best to ensure that her officers conduct themselves in a professional manner.

Mrs Zulu has since called for people of Luapula Province to continue supporting the Police as they carry out their duties.
