The District Commissioner was reacting to the concerns raised by the officer in charge at Chiawa police post, Joyce Mulenga.

Ms Mulenga had complained to the DC that the problem of accommodation was so serious that the police officers has embarked on constructing their own houses to curb the shortage.
