War veterans in Mashonaland West have
petitioned President Emmerson Mnangagwa to fire police Commissioner General
Augustine Chihuri saying he has no place in the new political dispensation.
At a meeting held at Makonde district
administrator’s boardroom, the over 50 war veterans’ representatives from all
districts in the province accused Chihuri of failing to ensure police remit
fines to treasury as stipulated by the Constitution.
Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans
Association provincial vice-chairperson Morgan Chipanga said Chihuri should
tell the country where the money collected by the police was channelled to,
arguing that it was neither used for the welfare of the police officers nor
remitted to the Consolidated Revenue Fund.
“Comrades, let’s not beat about the bush.
Chihuri should be accountable to the money collected by the police and must
tell the nation how the money was used,” Chipanga said. “He must be fired with
immediate effect. The country is waiting for that answer.”
The former freedom fighters also
recommended that members of the G40 faction in Zanu PF should not be included
in Mnangagwa’s administration as they were capable of sabotaging new government
initiatives.
The war veterans who were in a jovial mood
mockingly thanked former first lady Grace Mugabe for “fast-tracking” the demise
of former president Robert Mugabe by insulting senior government officials and
army generals. Standard
