8 Chinese nationals have been hired to join the country’s police service as reservists.
Inspector General of Police Kakoma Kanganja confirmed the hiring of 8 Chinese nationals as police reservists giving Zambians a surprise Christmas present.
Lusaka lawyer Dickson Jere is among the many left baffled and are asking questions.
On January 11th this year, Zambia made international news when it was reported that the Inspector General of the Police had banned his officers from marrying foreigners. The decision was justified as a security measure and the BBC went to town with that story…..
12 months down the road, the same Inspector General is reported to have commissioned some Chinese (eight of them) as Police Reservists to infiltrate the same agency we stopped our brothers and sisters from having spouses who are not Zambians.
It’s reported that the Chinese have alread taken over some land, Mukula trees, road contracts and now are taking over police.
After public outcry, the country finally overturned the decision.
