Four Zambia Police Traffic Officers were this morning caught unaware for mounting an illegal roadblock along Mungwi road and getting money from motorists without giving receipts.
The officers, two males and two females upon noticing the presence of Lusaka Province Minister Bowman Lusambo attempted to escape and when the minister inquired if the motorists were being issued with receipts, the officers said the receipt book had run out.
And Mr. Lusambo upon further inquiry discovered some money hidden in a nearby guard house and when counted, the money amounted to K2, 250 for the 2 hours they had mounted the roadblock.
Meanwhile, Mr. Lusambo is disappointed with the corruption going on in the Zambia Police which he says is tarnishing the name of President Edgar Lungu and the government.
He said he will ensure that the four officers identified as Charity Zuze, Sergeant Laban Bwalya, Constable Moses Chinga and Chibesa Mukela are reported to the police Inspector General Kakoma Kanganja so that action is taken.

Good job! It’s too much of this roadblock nonsense. Someone please fire those chaps so that the rest of the bad cops learn a lesson.
What Police do at road blocks is deplorable, but I do not support tarnishing the police’s image like that on camera without investigation. Law enforcement should be respected and matters related to them dealt in private. Wonder why police in the US get away with killing citizens? The law protects them so much that they feel comfortable doing their job. Does taking the money away from the cops change the fact that these motorists committed offences? No. Penalties and fines are too high and the public is incentivized to bribe cops, this is a two-way streak and let us not be naive.
