 Good morning members of the press. Riding on the statement that was given by the Minister of Home Affairs yesterday, I'm pleased to inform the nation that the Zamba Police Service will be policing the forthcoming summit for democracy to be held in our country from Wednesday 29th to Thursday 30th March 2023 in Rosaka. Durin the same period will be hosting the Vice President of the United States of America, Kamara Harris, who will be in the country from Friday 31st March to Saturday 1st April 2023. These two events are of great importance not only to our country but to the global community as well. As an institution charged with the responsibility of maintaining law and order and provision of security in our country, it is our mandate to ensure that the two functions proceed safely and in a secure environment. We are live to the fact that during this period there are certainly individuals and groupings with an agenda to champion causes that may be adding to our country and inimical to our traditional culture values. I wish to warn those with ill intentions that our officers are fully equipped and ready to deal with them stendly. Enough officers will be deployed to cover the summit venue and areas of concern. Ladies and gentlemen, the two events will indeed attract a number of VIP escorts in our city. We would like to appeal to all motorists and the general public to exercise caution and patience during this period as some of the roads may be temporarily closed at certain times to allow the smooth flow of VIP vehicles. In such situations, the public will always be guided to alternative routes to use. As I conclude, I wish to assure the general public and our visitors that the Zambia Police Service is committed to ensuring that peace, law and order prevails before, during and after these significant events. We have put in place adequate measures aimed at creating safe and secure environment for all. For any emergencies, members of the public are guided to utilize our tow free numbers.
