Munali Member of Parliament Mike Mposha has commissioned the Kamanga Police post with a call to residents to safeguard the infrastructure.

Mr Mposha who is also Minister of Green Economy and Environment said the Police post has been built at cost of K700 thousand using the constituency development fund (CDF), urging the residents to safeguard the structure.

Mr Mposha reminded the resident government’s  desire to ensure that communities are safe and protected against criminal elements.

He encouraged the community of Kamanga to work closely with the Police in maintaining law and order in the area and urged them to view police officers as partners in the prevention of crime and maintaining safety in the community.

Mr Mposha also assured the people of Kamanga that government has planned to construct more Police posts for the safety and protection of people’s property.

ZANIS reports that the Munali MP said this when he handed over the newly constructed Kamanga Police post to Zambia Police. 

And in receiving the Police Post on behalf of the Inspector General of Police Graphel Musamba, Commissioner of Police In Charge of Operations Kaunda Mubanga bemoaned the lack of Police presence in Kamanga which posed a challenge in fighting crime. 

Mr Mubanga expressed optimism that the construction of the Police post will greatly assist in mitigating crime which was a challenge in the past due to lack of a police post. 

Mr Mubanga assured the People of Kamanga that the Police will weed out criminal elements that have been terrorising the area.

Speaking earlier at the same event, Chakunkula ward Councillor Chimuka Njoomona said the people in Kamanga area have been living in fear as thieves took advantage of the absence of a Police post.  

Mr Njoomona said the area has experienced increased criminal activities in the last four years and thus urged the people to guard the facility jealously, as this would foster security in Kamanga and surrounding areas.
