Police Commissioner-General Augustine Chihuri who this week admitted that most police officers are corrupt has blamed parents for raising them.
Chihuri told a Parliamentary Portfolio Committees on Peace and Security, Home Affairs and Security Services that police officers only train for six months and he cant not change their behavior.
"They are your children and without understanding or deciding to overlook the fact that they are over 20 years and you have been with them yourselves for most of the time.
" I got them for six months, you want me to change them in six months and they behave well when you have never done your part to make sure that they become responsible citizens" said Chihuri as reported by the Herald.
He added "So when you raise concerns and so on, you must understand this also. You as the parents, how much did you do to mould the person?
"I can train yes, outwardly, but inwardly, I can't train. It's very difficult. It takes a long-time anyway. This is why we have our chaplains; they are doing a good job and I am sure it will help,".
