Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has distanced itself from a public appeal for help with stationery allegedly made by one of its senior officers.<\/p>\n

In a letter seen by Pindula News, Inspector Kamutanho, the officer-in-charge at Harare\u2019s Southerton police station, appealed to an unnamed company for a donation of stationery. Reads the letter:<\/p>\n

1. The above subject is referred.<\/p>\n

2. This station is appealing for donation from your company in form of cash or kind to buy tonner, 5x 2quire counter books, 5x 1quire counter books, bond paper and carbon papers.<\/p>\n

3. Your contribution in the fight against crime is highly cherished and treasured and will go a long way assisting in the ZRP Sot\/Merton area.<\/p>\n

4. For any further information don\u2019t hesitate to contact our Officer-In-Charge +242 665517 or Sgt Chimanya on 0712354355 or CO Gwatidzo 0773986227, CST Chikowe 0774018908<\/p>\n

5. Respectfully referred<\/p>\n

Signed 052288J<\/p>\n

KAMUTANHO (INSPECTOR<\/p>\n

OFFICER-IN-CHARGE<\/p>\n

Responding to the letter on Sunday, ZRP said the officer-in-charge acted on his own. Reads the statement seen by Pindula News;<\/p>\n

The ZRP has noted the several media inquiries in relation to the Officer \u2013in \u2013Charge ZRP Southerton\u2019s letter which went viral on the social media 29\/09\/22. The Officer-in-Charge acted on his own accord and the import of the letter is dismissed with contempt it deserves. The public is accordingly informed that the Government is providing stationery and other ancillary needs for the effective performance of duty by the Zimbabwe Republic Police stations throughout the country. Any inconvenience caused by the circulation of the letter is unfortunate.<\/p>\n

This comes amid reports that the condition of service in most government departments is disgusting.<\/p>\n
