HOME Affairs deputy minister Colonel Panji Kaunda has said government has no plans of disbanding the Zambia Police Service traffic section.
Colonel Kaunda said the Zambia Police traffic section is an important department and that it will continue operating its national duties as prescribed by the law.
The Deputy Minister revealed the development to the Zambia News and Information Services(ZANIS) in an interview in Lusaka today.
Col. Kaunda said the Zambia Police Service traffic section will continue working tirelessly and closely with the Road Transport and Safety Agency(RTSA) in regulating the road sector in the nation.
He said what was needed is for the traffic section to re-organise itself to ensure that it serves the road users to their satisfaction.
Col. Kaunda said the issue of the Zambia Police traffic section is a management issue which will be dealt with in the shortest possible time.
He explained that government was doing everything possible to root out corruption in the Zambia Police traffic section in order to bring sanity.
Col. Kaunda said the few corrupt individuals at the ZP Traffic Section will be flashed out of the service because they are there to serve the people of Zambia professionally.
Some concerned stakeholders have been advocating for the disbandment of the ZP Traffic section so that the mandate remained with RTSA which is viewed to be discharging its duties professionally to regulate the road sector.
