Speaking at the commissioning of new housing units at ZRP Support Unit Changadzi in Chimanimani yesterday, Police Commissioner Augustine Chihuri has responded to people who have criticised the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP)’s many roadblocks.
Said Chihuri:
People have bitter mouths. You only want to talk about the bad things without acknowledging the good things that are being done. This is so because we have evil intentions within ourselves which cloud our minds not to see good things. We know as the police we are being criticised about roadblocks and so on. The roads are there. They were not constructed by the police. The vehicles are there, they were not assembled by the police. The laws are there, they were not formulated and enacted by the police. Some people get killed in road accidents and so forth.
All these things are not being done by the police, but you hear grown-up people criticising the police heavily as if Zimbabwe is the only country that has cops on the roads. Why are you so much afraid of the police on the roads, yet they are there to protect you? You are used to being protected by dogs. What is more important to be safeguarded by a police officer or a dog? You have the answer and I will not continue talking about this issue.
