Minister of Information and Broadcasting Services and Chief Government spokesperson Mwansa Kapeya has condemned the violence against National Restoration Party President Cosmo Mumba in Katuba Constituency.
Mr Kapeya said in a statement released to ZANIS in Lusaka today that government condemns the beating up of the NRP president by unknown people in the on-going Katuba parliamentary by-election campaigns.
The Katuba constituency by-election will be held on February 25 following the death of MMD Member of Parliament Dr Patrick Chikusu.
And Mr Kapeya said the action was unacceptable and warned the culprits behind the act that they will not escape the long arm of the law.
He disclosed that government is proud of the people of Katuba for the peaceful and dignified manner in which they have conducted themselves ahead of the forthcoming by-election.
Mr. Kapeya stressed that government will not allow thugs to disrupt the peace that has so far characterised the on-going campaigns.
He said the people of Katuba like their counterparts elsewhere do not only deserve but are entitled to a free ,peaceful and conducive atmosphere in which to exercise their democratic right to choose a member of parliament of their choice.
He stated that the late Member of Parliament for Katuba Dr. Patrick Chikusu left an impeccable legacy of selfless, dignified and distinguished service to the nation.
Mr. Kapeya noted that it was necessary that the process of finding a successor for such a distinguished leader and patriot is equally dignified and orderly.

Is that blood or tomato paste? I cannot see the wound.
This chap is suitable to feature in Zambia Radio drama, “Sowelo”.
So, by what you have said at the end of your post, are you denigrating the artists on Sowelo?
finnally someone has pumped some sense into Cosmo Mumba!! is he dead??
@Ndobo, I tried to think of any reason I can slap Cosmo (Dr) Mumba for, absolutely nothing, except he has no respect to his brother Pastor.
I guess he tried to get someone’s wife for valentine. In general Lenjes like fighting, they like “ntokuloba mukwabo, kuno ni kumishi yesu, ebo uli muswa mashi”.
Bushe uyu muntu NIKASAI?
Hope they knocked down his four front teeth. That will shut his stupid utterances down.
Long overdue. Hope they also kicked him in the ding dings.
That is good for PF cadres to pump sanity into Cosmo Mumba. When Sata gives money to Cosmo Mumba to masquerade as other parties supporting PF and Sata, he forgets that some PF cadres have never received any benefit for supporting Sata and will naturally beat up those that reap where they did not sow. PF is on record as a violent party with machetes, pangas put to use frequently. Eh!, lesson for you Cosmo.
a good number of pipo a happy that he was beaten. he is the presidnt of his party jst like ur party president. suppose it was HH, would u be happy? ar u telling me that another group should rise and beat HH, Mumba, fr B because they dont like them? we should condemn violence at all costs.
You are an imbecile to think Cosmo is an opposition party president.Which planet are you from jupter?
@ true,
You must be an id!ot with a pigeon brains do you think Cosmo is an Opposition leader when he is always at state house sorting and passing files to the president to sign as his full time job? You are such a son of a b!tch who deserves to be castrated
may be then can you have human brains!
@ Patriot!
Surely, what has true said to deserve to be insulted?????
I know this is the internet, but if he said that to you in person, would you have responded in the same you have?! Guys, this is just internet! No need to show who is tough and all!! Just contribute and say what you need to say!
