Zambezi Governor Alufea Sampofu says the security cluster continues to operate with limited resources, stating that regional security was compromised due to economic constraints during the 2021–2022 financial year.

Speaking during his State of the Region address, Sampofu particularly mentioned the lack of transport, which has limited the mobility of the police in their efforts to intensify crime control.

However, Sampofu stresses that despite all the challenges, successful operations were carried out that resulted in curbing some hidden criminal activities.
