Aseki Station residents

Alleged hefty fees by reservists

A public servant voiced her concern that after her brother was apprehended by the reservists following a land confrontation, she went to the temporary holding cell and was told to pay K3,000 bail before he could be released. 

Margaret Silas, a local at the Nanima-Kariba Rural LLG, voiced similar sentiments, saying it has been nearly a decade since regular police officers were stationed at Aseki Station.

“If there’s no money, the issue will not be attended to,” she said.
