The beleaguered Police Commissioner-General, Dr Augustine Chihuri, has warned that the force will soon be offloading redundant senior officers ‘who adopt a lackadaisical approach’ to their work once they have attained higher ranks in the force.
He said commanders at Police General Headquarters were keeping a forensic eye on all activities taking place in all the provinces.
He was addressing senior police officers attending an Assistant Commissioners’ Seminar 1/2016 in Harare yesterday.
“I am however aware of some senior officers who are in the habit of passively resisting directives and a penchant for adopting a ‘wait and see’ attitude hoping that we will not follow up on our expectations.
“Let me stress this and make my stance abundantly clear; the Command at Police General Headquarters is keeping a forensic eye on all activities taking place at your (assistant commissioners’) respective provinces. There are those who decide to adopt a lackadaisical approach towards work, either thinking that they have gotten the ranks they aspired for, or that they have seen it all in their current ranks,” he said.
