Press Statement
The Centre for the Advancement of Dialogue and Democracy CADD has been greatly disturbed by the barbaric strategies being used by the Zimbabwe Republic Police that have contributed to loss of lives in most urban centers.
We are holding the police commissioner general Augustine Chihuri responsible for the death of several people who lost lives during clashes between the police and commuter omnibus drivers.
The disorderly harassment and high speed chasing of commuter omnibus drivers by the police in congested areas is clear testimony of poor training in mob and traffic control on the part of our law enforcement agents. We are calling on the Police commissioner to stop the unprofessional conduct of our police officers with immediate effect.
CADD will not hesitate to take action against the unprofessional and corrupt police officers if the situation persists.
It is saddening to note that our police force has drifted from its constitutional mandate of maintaining Law and order.
The Zimbabwe Republic Police should engage the City of Harare over lack of parking space in Harare's CBD for purposes of curbing loss of lives as a result of unprofessional conduct by City of Harare security personnel and the ZRP.
