Chihuri defends transfer of entire Police Station

Augustine Chihuri Police Commissioner-General, has defended his decision to redeploy the entire staff at Mabvuku Police Station, saying corruption levels at the station had reached unprecedented levels.

About 26 of the 37 police officers, who were suspended after being transferred to various police stations and posts dotted around the country, approached the High Court in November last year and thwarted the Zimbabwe Republic Police's move to have them charged and dismissed by a suitability board.

Bulawayo High Court judge Justice Martin Makonese issued an order suspending the convening of the suitability board.
