Zambezi, Aug 29/14,  ZANIS—–North-Western Province Police Commissioner, Eugene Sibote, has assured political players participating in the forth-coming Zambezi West and Solwezi Central Parliamentary by-elections that enough police officers have been deployed to cover the polls.

 

Mr Sibote says police does not condone violence and appealed to the political leaders to restrain their cadres from engaging in violent acts.

 

Mr Sibote warned that there will be no sacred cows should violence spark in the two areas.

“Violence should not be part of these elections. I assure the political parties participating in Zambezi West and Solwezi Central that l have deployed enough police officers to man the two areas and I want to remind the parties that there will be no sacred cows involving themselves in barbaric acts of violence,” Mr. Sibote said.
