We would like to dismiss information circulating on social media headlined "EDGAR LUNGU REMOVES HOUSING ALLOWANCE FOR POLICE OFFICERS" in which the author / authors have reported that the office of the Inspector General of Police received a circular stating that police officers will no longer be receiving their housing allowance effective November 2016.
At no point did the office of the Inspector General receive any circular from Government suggesting or indicating the removal of housing allowance for police officers as purported by the authors.
We therefore advise members of the public to treat such unsubstantiated and baseless information with the contempt it deserves as it was originated by day dreamers whose aim is to mislead members of the public and also to ferment hate in police officers.
We would also want to make it clear that only police officers who are NOT accommodated in government houses are entitled to housing allowance.

The ten trucks belonging to Galco Transport and Logistics were impounded at Chirundu One-stop Border Post heading for a named neighbouring country.
The trucks were impounded after a tip off from the members of the public.
Deputy Director in charge of Operations, Alfred Nawa, said Police are very much alert and are working round the clock in bringing maize smugglers to book.
Mr. Nawa said police has decided to take this firm stance because the levels of maize stealing in the country was getting out of hand.

Air Force 1 High KPULately, our country has experienced numerous cases of fire incidences of which some are accidental while many others are believed to be orchestrated by people with criminal minds and ill motives.
This state of affairs which started with the setting ablaze of property in market places and now spreading to other properties, has resulted in a lot of people losing their valuable properties worth huge sums of money.
As Zambia Police, we are calling upon all well meaning and patriotic citizens of this country to join hands with us and ensure that all the criminals behind this spate of the unfortunate scenario are fished out and arrested forthwith.
We believe that with the participation of members of the public, all the perpetrators of these atrocious acts will soon be brought to book so that the Law can take its course.
We stand resolute to our objective of protecting people’s property as mandated to us by the constitution and as such, we have continued with our investigations in this matter and we would like to warn all those that will be found wanting that they will not be spared but will be arrested and brought before the Courts of Law.
We are doing everything possible to restore the situation back to normal so that people can continue conducting their daily businesses in a conducive environment devoid of any fear.
We have intensified patrols and have introduced static Guard duties on strategic installations and market areas throughout the country as well as increase police presence in volatile areas.
