All hell has broken loose on the police commissioner Augustine Chihuri  with president Emmerson Mnangagwa receiving pressure to dismiss him with immediate effect.

The development follows the booeing of and humiliation of the police general in front of over 60000 people at the national sports stadium last month. Chihuri was told by the masses as the president watched to go home.

This time war veterans have called on Mnangagwa to fire the Commissioner-General with immediate effect. The war veterans have accused Chihuri of corruption saying that he should account for all the money that was collected by the police alleging that the money is neither remitted to Treasury’s Consolidated Revenue Fund or used to benefit police officers.

This was at a meeting in Makonde,  where as the Independent reports, the Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans Association provincial vice-chairperson Morgan Chipanga said,

“Comrades, let’s not beat around the bush. Chihuri should be accountable to the money collected by the police and must tell the nation how the money was used.

“He must be fired with immediate effect. The country is waiting for that answer.”

At the time of writing thousands of junior police officers had written a petition to the president also calling for Chihuri’s head. The offices we feel that they were among other things  being forced into programmes that make them fine people for the mere purpose of fundraising and Chihuri would even give them daily collection targets.
