Chombo reveals ZRP has fired over 500 for corruption at road blocks

Appearing before the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Transport and Infrastructural Development today, Home Affairs Minister, Dr Ignatius Chombo revealed that over 500 Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) officers were fired last year alone for corrupt activities relating to spot fines at roadblocks.

Chombo said,

We will not hesitate to deal with rogue elements who indulge in fraudulent activities and earn the force a bad name.

The Minister also answered questions from legislators who felt the number of police manned roadblocks are too many and do not only cause inconvenience but are also badly timed as the country promotes its ease of doing business initiative.
