Farai Dziva|Marondera Central MP Caston Matewu has written a letter to Home Affairs Minister Kazembe Kazembe asking him to consider paying members of the police force a risk allowance as they are badly exposed to Coronavirus.

See Matewu’s statement:

I have since written to the Hon Minister Kazembe Kazembe asking him to consider giving our esteemed Police a risk allowance like that being given to members of the health sector for the enormous work they are carrying out to keep our town safe and to maintain daily order.

Their work means we can all stay at home and they remain at greater risk when interacting with residents at a daily basis.

They are also working without protective clothing putting themselves at much more calamity. We need to all appreciate their work in this time of need like we do our nurses and doctors hence the need to appropriately renumerate them in these difficult times

I thank you

Hon C Matewu (MP)
Marondera Central
