Opposition MMD Die-Hard youth Coordinator Bowman Lusambo has given the Zambia Police a seven days ultimatum in which to explain to the nation the procedure it has continued to use to permit Patriotic Front (PF) cadres to conduct protests.

Lusambo says his party would like to know the procedure the PF cadres have been following for Police to continue granting them permission to stage protests against PF Secretary General Wynter Kabimba.

He says failure by the police command to explain to the nation the procedure PF cadres have been using to obtain police permits will force youths from the opposition to demonstrate against the police.

Lusambo has stated that there is no way the opposition can continue being denied police permits to hold political public gatherings when the PF cadres are allowed to hold protests almost on a daily basis.

He told QFM that such double standards by the Police in administering the Public Order are unfair and discouraging to the opposition in the country.

  1. There is anarchy in the country. Trouble anywhere in the the country is a deadly recipe for disaster everywhere in the country if left unchecked and nipped in the bud. Mark my words!

  2. Interesting development. This was coming, especially considering how heavy handed police have been against other sections of society whenever they decided to (procedurally) mount a demonstration. This could breed quite some uncomfortable state of affairs if left unchecked. PF must desist from behaving like UNIP in their heydays…

  3. PF are the worst government ever! PF police are causing confusion everywhere in the country and will plunge the nation in turmoil. We all can what they are doing – sowing disorder and disrespect for the rule of law and order. President swore to uphold the constitution but awe kwena – he needs to be impeached!

    • Tell them. PF and it’s Government are worse than UNIP and it’s Government. It is very emberasing to be associated with PF. Only fools would move around with their heads up under PF leadership. It is time they go. How can a rsponsible Head of state put a man of low carliber like GBM to be Minister, for that mater to be in charge of Defence. The Defence forces are not happy. There are people with integrity who could be Ministers of Defence. Wake up UKWA.

  4. Our ZP are a big disgrace and let down. On daily basis PF cadres are granted police permits for unconstructive protests, last time against Lubinda and now its against Kabimba. But when HH and UPND ,Nevers & MMD, wants to hold constructive Political gatherings of sensitizing members of the public on their manifestos, police permits are denied in the name of public order Act. I support Lusambo for the idea of mass protests. I therefore implore the opposition to co-exist on this noble cause being spear headed by Lusambo.Seven days to the police for an explanation is what we await for now failure for the satisfactory explanation after seven days it is opposition mass protests against the selective way of issuing police permits by ZP.VIVA LUSAMBO, NO RETREAT NO SURRENDER.

  5. Do they need 7 days to explain that the police are afraid to deny them ‘street kids’ permits because the cadres in question belong to plot 1? It’s so obvious!

  6. Lusambo has, for once, used his energy towards a noble cause. Yes, these are the questions opposition members of parliament should have been pushing the Speaker to demand for a Ministerial Statement by the Hon. Minister of Home Affairs. It is high time we started playing our roles, instead of defecting like our brothers Masumba, Taima, David Phiri, Ngoma, sikwela and many such. So unprincipled.

  7. Thus a good observation Lusambo,there is need for the police to proffessional,Mwamba (PS) said that when your loyalty is on an individual, when that individual goes, you go with him/her, So Libongani & Jere watch out!

  8. it is sad mother Zambia,the police are afraid of the cobra, fearing to lose their jobs,anarchy reigns every where, the president cannot accept criticism, he used to insult, but today he threatening others, pf cadres do as they wish, the country is going to the dogs, slowly, who will call them to order, if the president can’t?

  9. IG Libongani is a disgrace to the human race, and women in particular. But then again, politics of the belly is the new Zambian ideology.

  10. Please the opposition youths help with these imbalances.PF has been doing well with development until very recently,PResident sata take charge immediately …

  11. Lusambo can’t you see that this confusion in PF is a blessing in disguise to the opposition? Unless you are a hired gun for the Weather camp, I would advise you to stay out of this fight.

  12. i thought this lusambo thing has been in politics for sometime now and knows what goes on and around once in power.
    two years out of power is to short a period for him to forget the atrocities his party caused to the nation through the same police ‘force’ he is challenging today.
    as for our own pf youths, just know that what goes up must come down.
    one day you will also cry like lusambo is doing if you continue treading on this dangerous path.
    “uushumfwa patunono, napafingi pene takomfwe”.

  13. This time around, we don’ t have a national police to render service to the nation but a party police service whose inclination is to serve the interests of the PF and it’ s supporters. The professionalism they are supposed to exhibit is not there because they get directives straight from the cobra zoo at state house.

  14. Lusambo ask Wiliam Banda who gave him permit or powers to instruct police whn MMD ws in power.Or ask wht MMD meant when they refered to themsrlves boma ni boma!And why ws ths reference suited to them tht time?Is MMD stil enjoyng the same privilege?If Lusambo can address these queries corectly then whtever decision he comes up with it wil be met equivalently!

    • IF MMD WAS WRONG SHOULD PF FOLLOW SUIT .THAT’S WHY WE VOTED MMD OUT SO THINK AND DON’T SINK IN YOUR ANALYSIS OF ISSUES

  15. Should we all rise on our feed and blow the trumpet in the street violating the law , will it be good. If we all stood in the streets to protest against the PF cadres in so many ways they are offend the citizens in this country will it be good? Police must act professionally without discrimination. We are a peaceful Nation and God loves us, so Police should not bring this country into jeopardy on the interest of supporting foolish cadres. We do not live on the cadres who today will be pf and tomorrow will be found into other parties. Shame- Kambwili, shame- GBM, shame shame(nda)

  16. THE HAPPENINGS IN PF ARE AS INTRESTING AS READIND THE NOVEL THINGS FALL APART.IN THIS NOVEL OKONKONKO WAS FILLED WITH ONE PASSION TO HATE EVERYTHING HIS FATHER UNOKA HAD LOVED. THE PF BEMBA CLIQUE HATES EVERY THING ABOUT KABIMBA .

  17. We an inept police open to all manner of political abuse.surely the entire deputy IG of police has to leave his duties to go and negotiate with chikwele watever his name is,such a shame.when the opposition wants to demonstrates there are no negotiations just blatant and primitive brutality.

  18. zambia has not reached a level to be led by a woman. Police (male) officers ignore orders from women especially those who are not married.

  19. iwe mwaice lusambo think before you talk. When you and boko haram willian tekere banda used to demostrate, maim,brutalise,terrorise, did anyone give police ultimatum. Stop been retard
