Cop cries foul over ‘slavery’

A POLICE officer has approached the High Court seeking an order to compel Commissioner General of the Police, Augustine Chihuri, the Police Service Commission and Home Affairs minister Ignatius Chombo to allow him to retire from service.

In his court application seeking an interdict against the police, Tymon Tabana also cited police chief of staff officer (human resources), Justice Chifunye Chengeta, as the first respondent.

Tabana said he was being forced to seek the court’s intervention because his employer was refusing him a chance to retire despite having attained retirement stage.
