By Own Correspondent- Police boss Godwin Matanga has said while corruption is like a cancer within society, government should avail adequate resources and remuneration to police officers as a way of curbing the vice which is now rampant in Zimbabwe.

Commissioner General of Police Matanga said this while responding to a question on what needs to be done to curb corruption within the force and society.

He said:

“The police should be given good remuneration, they must be given enough officer accommodation, vehicles for their mobility must be given, enough specialized equipment must be given…… They must be highly mobile so that they also cover our borders, our porous borders. And for our specialized units such as the Sub Aqua Unit, they must be capacitated with specialized boats so that they are able to patrol even the Kariba dam. …After having said all this and thereafter the ZRP must be the eye of corruption, given that they have enough resources. I see that it is feasible. Given enough resources at our disposal I fore see that the police can root out this cancer.”
