Police officers in Zanzibar are getting grilled over widespread corruption and harassment complaints. Minister George Simbachawene slammed law enforcement agents for shady behavior during a tense meeting at the Zanzibar Police College. He demanded that inspectors across Unguja stop intimidating locals and start actually following regulations while serving the community.
The administration is fed up with constant reports about messy case handling and aggressive traffic stops. Simbachawene warned that treating residents unfairly destroys public trust. He insisted that the force needs to clean up its act immediately because acting like bullies violates professional standards and existing laws.
Commissioner CP Kombo Khamis Kombo backed these demands, instructing his subordinates to strictly stick to ethical guidelines. He stressed that discipline remains the only way to fix their damaged reputation. Officers must execute every duty legally without cutting corners or abusing their power against civilians.
Deputy Director DCP Zuberi Chembela accepted the heat and promised the department would follow the new instructions to boost performance. The gathering aimed to reinforce ethical conduct and safety, hoping these changes would finally repair the fractured relationship between the authorities and the public on the islands.
