Inspector General of Police Graphael Musamba has elevated 215 TAZARA Division officers to higher ranks ranging from Sergeant to Chief Inspector, in recognition of their dedication and distinguished service to the nation.

The promotions come as Zambia heads to the polls, with the IG stressing the importance of impartiality and professionalism in policing during the election period.

In a speech read on his behalf by TAZARA Division Commanding Officer Chomba Chaongopa, Musamba described the promotions as both a recognition of merit and a call to greater responsibility.

“The elevated officers must continue serving with professionalism, integrity, discipline and accountability while faithfully executing their duties in line with the values and mandate of the Zambia Police Service,” Musamba said.

He reminded the officers to remain impartial, uphold the rule of law, and serve all citizens without fear or favour.

Chaongopa encouraged the officers to remain steadfast in safeguarding peace, maintaining public order, and providing professional policing services. He also urged those not promoted to remain committed, disciplined, and hardworking, assuring them that future opportunities for career progression would arise based on merit and performance.
