Open letter to the inspector-general of Zambia police
Dear Editor
Kindly allow me to air my grave concerns regarding the missing or stolen rails in Luanshya.
Though it has taken me too long to complain about the missing rails here in Luanshya, I have really failed to understand the whole episode.
To start with the railway line started off from right inside Luanshya Mine and went up to Ndola town.
To-date, the rails on this so called railway line not even a single rail is lying or available.
The following are now my the serious questions which someone must answer and tell the nation the truth without fear and favour and I ask as follows:
Can someone convince me or the nation that there was not even a single security guard from G4 Security Services on duty when these rails were being removed or stolen. G4 Security Services were the ones guarding Luanshya Mine premises?
Can someone again convince me or the nation that from Luanshya Mine premises to Ndola in between there not even a single Zambia Policeman who saw that rails were being stolen or removed?
Can the Mine Police Commandant or Chief Security Officer from G4 Security Services or Zambia Police Commanding Officer for Luanshya Central Police explain if ever he never saw anyone removing or stealing these rails?
Can the Station Master at Zambia Railways Ndola explain if ever he never received any information or complain that rails were being removed or stolen?
The rails are very big, heavy and long and I do not think that someone could carry these on his shoulders. To tell the truth somewhere somehow someone must have been behind and also people from these security wings must have known that such a thing was going on in Luanshya up to Ndola railway station.
As a concerned citizen I humbly request the security wings to investigate thoroughly with the Republican President well informed of the progress with investigations.
Such matters must not die a natural death.
Our children in Luanshya do not know how the train looks like.
Thank you God bless. Chester Kalunga
