FIVE police officers in Chipata are in trouble after Eastern Province Minister Malozo Sichone found them with more than K3,000 unreceipted money which they collected from motorists.
The officers were manning a roadblock when Mr Sichone pounced on them and discovered that they had money which they did not issue receipts for.
This was after a tip from taxi drivers who complained to the minister that they were not being issued with receipts for the money they were charged by the police officers at the roadblock.
Mr Sichone disguised himself by wearing a cap and sunglasses, hired a taxi and headed to the roadblock mounted on Airport Road.
Without noticing the minister in the taxi, the police officers declared it defective and asked for K100 from the driver and did not issue him with a receipt.
Mr Sichone later called Eastern Province police commissioner Grace Chipalila who challenged the officers to tell the minister if she was the one who sent them to collect money without issuing receipts. They went mute.
