her organisation was distributing to its recruits countrywide, police said yesterday.
Commissioner-General Augustine Chihuri confirmed that police were keen to interview Mukoko in connection with the case and appealed to anyone with information leading to her arrest to contact any nearest police station.
“Police are looking for Jestina Mukoko to assist us with investigations and if anyone sees her, please advise any nearest police station,” said Comm-Gen Chihuri.
“We want her to give us the mission of her organisation, thus anyone with information on where she is, help us.”
Comm-Gen Chihuri was addressing 12 officers who are set to leave the country for United Nations peacekeeping missions in South Sudan and four others who recently returned from Liberia.

Last month police found ZPP with communication gadgetry that includes Eton Microlink radios and Huawei Ascend Y100 cellphones fitted with geographical positioning system (GPS) reportedly to be used in the run-up to the elections and the actual poll.
Meanwhile, Huawei Zimbabwe has distanced itself from ZPP.

Huawei only markets its equipment to telecommunications operators duly registered under the laws of Zimbabwe and if these cell phones were sourced locally, they might have bought them from the operators,” said Huawei Zimbabwe managing director Mr Stephen Wen in a statement.
ZPP is led by Ms Mukoko, who was once arrested a few years ago for engaging in activities deemed to be detrimental to the State.
She was freed by the Supreme Court on the basis of some constitutional breaches.
It is illegal for anyone to possess or operate signal transmission equipment other than in accordance with a licence issued by either the Broadcasting Authority of Zimbabwe or Postal and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe.
