True to the saying that goes “death can never be gotten used to”, the death of North Western Province Police Commissioner Grace Chipalila came as a shock to all people she associated with and the nation at large.
Hundreds of mourners led by the Republican President, Mr Edgar Chagwa Lungu recently gathered in Lusaka to pay their last respect to the departed gallant officer.
Speaking at the requiem mass held at Mary Emmaculate Catholic Church along Leopards Hill Road, President Lungu said that the demise of Ms Chipalila was sudden and shocking describing it as a blow to the Government considering that its policy was aimed at increasing the number of Women in decision making positions.
“On behalf of the Ministry of Home Affairs and indeed on my own behalf, I wish to extend our most heartfelt condolences to her beloved family, friends, colleagues and the Police service where she served with distinction. This explains why she rose to the position of Commissioner of Police”, said President Lungu.
