The Zimbabwe Republic Police force is set to recruit 10 000 more officers to maintain law and order ahead of next month's referendum and subsequent elections.
The development literally lies in the face of the health sector which recently received the "green light" to recruit only 1 000 nurses, leaving an equal number unemployed.
Police deputy commissioner-general (operations), Innocent Matibiri, disclosed the looming massive recruitment when he appeared before the Parliamentary portfolio Committee on Security, to speak on police preparedness during the forthcoming referendum and elections.
Matibiri, however, could not give details of the amount of money police needed during elections, but said the figure had since been forwarded to the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission.
