Terrence Mawawa|At least 28 junior police officers have dragged their
superiors to the High Court for unlawfully deducting their salaries.
The officers who are based in the capital Harare want the court to compel their superiors to revoke
the deductions.
In their court papers the junior cops alleged that the sum of $45 was deducted from each officer’s account.
“I (Constable) and the rest of the
applicants (27) were shocked when we got our payslips for May 2018.We noted that the respondents had effected unlawful deductions on our salaries through SSB.
We are not aware of the purported
meals the respondents allege that we took.
The deductions are clearly unlawful
and daylight robbery if not corruption at the most alarming rate. The
respondents have decided to take the law into their own hands and they are now l
ooting from us,” read part of the document that was submitted to the High Court.
