Police Commissioner-General Dr Augustine Chihuri has conceded that corruption is bedevilling the police force adding that they are working flat out to weed out corrupt elements from the organisation.
Dr Chihuri said motorists and other members of the public were promoting corruption in the police force by initiating it and concealing it, much to the detriment of the law enforcing agent.He said the country was grappling with corruption in both the private and public sectors and that the dire situation had been worsened by the society which had also become corrupt.
Adding that, they will act decisively on corrupt police officers.
“Corruption is not restricted to the police organisation, it is all over and it covers every other sector, that is both the public and the private sector.

“Corruption is not restricted to the police organisation, it is all over and it covers every other sector, that is both the public and the private sector.
“Mind you corruption is an act that involves two people. It is unfortunate that in this instance the other side is not mentioned. Police are as corrupt as the society itself.
The society corrupts the police. It does not mean that if the police are on the road they are corrupted by other police officers, it is the motorists who initiate corruption. Why do ordinary people engage in corruption?” he said.
Turning to social media abuse, through #Tajamuka and #This flag, which were at the forefront of recent demonstrations, Dr Chihuri said police would soon descend on social media and cyber space abusers.

He warned that police would severely deal with whoever commits any crime associated with social media and cyber space abuse.
“Violence will never be tolerated in our society and our country. We will be out in full force and let anyone not misuse social media the way they are doing because they will force the Government to take action.
