Police in Chiradzulu have arrested 17 security guards for CFK Security Company for vandalizing water infrastructures at the Southern Region Water Board (SWB) office in the district.
Public Relations Officer for Chiladzulu, Sergeant Cosmas Kagulo, has told Zodiak Online today, that led by Simon Kaposa, 47, on August 14 and 15 the guards destroyed the equipment in protest over their company’s failure to give them their June and July salaries.
Last Friday, the guards wrote a petition to the water board expressing their anger, threatening to deal with any of their colleagues who will report for duties.
Instead of waiting for the response, the suspects are said to have resorted to damaging the water infrastructure which has resulted in water supply interruptions to residents and offices around Chiradzulu district council.
