The National Police Service Commission has refuted media reports of mass resignations of police officers.
Chairman Johnston Kavuludi said the claims are a creation of the media and propagandists.
He said neither the commission nor the Inspector General of Police has received a letter from any officer.
“I have talked to the inspector general and has not received any letter from any officer,” Kavuludi said.
This followed reports that over 1,000 graduate officers have submitted their resignation letter to the inspector general.
He said that as an agency that employs officers on behalf of the government, they are not aware of any officer who has had a pay cut.
Kavuludi said there was a time the commission needed graduates in the service adding that the lot was hired at the level of inspectors.
“Graduates are admitted as constables and are paid a special salary as they await training on the higher roles,” he said.
