Omari Muwowo |
Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Omari Muwowo is an
officer you can joke with, play with and work with.
He was recently promoted to DCP and am so proud of him because
his work speaks for himself.
He is a user friendly officer who I have known since the
year 2010.
When I worked for MUVI Television between 2010 and 2012, Mr. Muwowo
and his colleagues at the Intellectual Property Unit of the Zambia Police
Service did a great job in fighting piracy in the country.
My colleagues Brian Mwale, Mwape Kumwenda, Mabvuto Phiri and
many others who worked at MUVI TV remember this man and how we worked with him
on piracy stories.
In those days, they operated from a poorly made container at
Force Headquarters in Lusaka but their work was countrywide.
I remember covering them on operations in Lusaka, Kabwe and Kapiri
Mposhi were they pounced on people pirating music and selling to unsuspecting travelers.
Mr. Muwowo was an integral part of the team.
To us journalists, he was and is still 'Constable' Omari Muwowo because he considers himself the lowest ranked Police officer, despite rising
through the ranks over the past decade or so.
Even his Facebook page is called Constable Omari Muwowo.
Below is a short summary of how this great Police officer has risen through the ranks due to his patriotism, selflessness and dedication
to work.
Mr. Muwowo is a graduate of the School of Public Order Maintenance
in Kitwe which is popularly known as Kamfinsa, he was trained at the Mobile
Unit.
Upon passing out, he was transferred to Lusaka Central
Police Station where he worked briefly before he was transferred to Research
and Planning Unit at Police headquarters.
It was at Force Headquarters where he exhibited his intelligence and Police dynamics.
As a Constable by rank, he did a project proposal in Sweden
which led to the introduction of the Intellectual
Property Unit of the Zambia Police Service.
According to my research, what existed in the Police then
was an ad-hoc Anti-Piracy Crack Squad.
Mr. Muwowo spearheaded Intellectual property initiatives and
enforcement mechanisms which made him a renowned Intellectual property trainer
in Africa and Europe.
He became the only one and the first African to be part of
the training faculty in Stockholm, Sweden.
During his days under Intellectual Property Unit were I first
met him at that container at Force Headquarters, sanity was brought in the
Zambian markets.
Most of the fake products were confiscated to the point
where he was nicknamed The Sweeper by traders at Lusaka Town Center were they
usually sold pirated CDs and DVDs.
I remember those days, the Intellectual Property Unit of the
Police used to work with an organization called Cycorps which was headed by a
Mr Kingsley Nkonde.
Mr Nkonde was also another passionate person when it comes
to fighting piracy.
I lost touch with him but if anyone can reach him, he can
tell you how they fought piracy those days.
If am not mistaken, Brian Mwale and Mwape Kumwenda won Media
Awards in Anti-Piracy those days, courtesy of the stories we did with the
Zambia Police Intellectual Property Unit and Cycorps.
Back to Mr Muwowo, from Constable, he rose to the rank of Sub
Inspector, Skipping the the rank of Sergeant.
Due to his hard work, he later became Inspector and Chief Inspector,
the rank he only enjoyed for only one month and he was again promoted to the
rank of Assistant Superintendent.
This scenario of frequent promotions just shows you how hard
working and disciplined the man is.
In no time, he became a Superintendent, one of those ranks
we call Ba Unga Unga.
Three years ago, he was promoted to the rank of Senior
Superintendent and transferred to the Zambia Police Professional Standards and
Integrity Committee.
Under his watch, there was a reduction in Police unethical
conduct and corruption.
Almost every Zambian had his mobile number to report any
officers who misbehaved, that is how ‘Constable’ Omari Muwowo works, he has an
open door policy.
Other attributes I forgot to mention are that Mr. Muwowo is
a disciplinarian, an honest and frank man who sensitises people through radio,
Television and his Facebook page were he write articles to enlighten the
public.
In short, wherever he goes, he revamps and makes an impact.
Last year upon change of government, Mr. Muwowo was promoted
as Acting Assistant Commissioner of Police and transferred to Police
headquarters under the Operations Department.
Two months ago, another promotion came, he was given the
rank of Deputy Commissioner of Police, skipping one rank of Senior Assistant
Commissioner of Police.
He was appointed Director Operations, this means he is the
man who attends to riots, emergencies, Policing of public events, manning
gatherings and crowd management.
In short, Mr. Muwowo has excelled because he hates people
who counterfeit products, people who are corrupt, Police officers who are
unprofessional and unethical and he also hates laziness.
That is what I know about ‘Constable’ Muwowo, the DCP in the
Zambia Police Service.
He is my friend and I celebrate his recent promotion.
I new this man it was in 2020 he was only my Facebook friend on Facebook we only use to chart alot but last year after he told me that am in lusaka at HQ I thought it was a chance of meeting him and finally he accepted of meeting me and we had a good time at is office and he even give me a transport money. This man I can say is a blessing to us Zambians I will never forget you sir. There some senior officers who are on top but there will never have time to talk to someone who there don't knw or is not there relative but you accepted me meeting you while am just nothing am not even a police officer am just a Neighborhood watch police. Once again I say thankyou may you continue with your good heart and congratulations
