POLICE Commissioner Augustine Chihuri has vowed the ZRP will not support individuals promoting the agenda of “imperialists” in Zimbabwe – a thinly-veiled attack on Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai’s MDC-T party.
"Anybody trying to bring in foreign ideas will have the shock of their lives, we don't support them," Chihuri said in comments published in the state-owned Herald newspaper on Monday.
"The ZRP will not be part and parcel of those people who promote the agenda of imperialists. Those roaming around the country, promoting such ideas, we won't support them.”
Chihuri’s comments follow similar noises from army generals who have vowed not to salute “sell-outs” – a label which has been attached to the MDC-T by supporters of President Robert Mugabe's Zanu PF party.
The reluctance by military and police chiefs to embrace the possibility of a change of government at the next elections has heightened concerns in the MDC-T, which has been calling for security sector reforms before elections now expected early next year.
