National Restoration Party (NAREP) President Elias Chipimo Junior has charged that Inspector General of Police Stella Libongani will be directly held accountable by the people of Zambia for failing to execute her duties professionally.

Mr. Chipimo told QFM News in an interview that the continued misuse of the Police to undermine the opposition political parties and Civil Society Organizations in the country is unacceptable.

He said Ms Libongani ought to know that the PF will not be in office forever and that time is fast approaching for her to be held accountable for the abuse of people’s democracy.

Mr. Chipimo added that the Police Chief should concentrate on executing her duties in accordance with the law and not to please the appointing authority.

And Forum for Democracy and Development (FDD) Spokesperson, Antonio Mwanza said it is disappointing the Inspector General of Police is contributing in trying to weaken the opposition in the country.

On Monday, police in riot gear fired teargas canisters to disperse a crowd of UPND supporters who were waiting to be addressed by Mr Hichilema in Mambwe District.On Sunday police stopped a public meeting which was being addressed by Mr Hichilema in the same district.

    • pf leaders like the kambwili have lost count of time because they are just busy enjoying themselves instead of delivering on what they promised the zambian people. using the police to suppress the opposition has never worked, at least here in zambia. so just one and half years to go, the 1diots will be in the opposition answering graft and abuse of office charges

    • @Matipa Judging by the picture above, are you sure he is a woman? Anyway woman or not he is very stupidd. He or sorry she thinks Sata will be president forever.

    • Actually she is very pretty. Ni Ka Gelo suwa with very soft and warm features. Just my type!! You guys are just envious.

    • Very silly indeed. I can’t believe that this IG is the wife of a very humble SDA Church Elder, a Mr. Mulongwe. How can she betray Zambians like this? Has she heard about the story of the three Hebrew boys who refused to take silly orders from the king of Babylon? Madam IG don’t sale your soul for money. Your downfall will be bad.

    • The Kwacha is in free fall due political uncertainty that has gripped Zambia of late. This goes to prove that Sata and his PF are bad for the Zambian economy because they have increased the POLITICAL RISK exponentially there by affecting any remaining amount of confidence left in the Kwacha and the Zambian economy.

      All foreigners doing business in Zambia are now having second thoughts as to whether to continue to keep their money here or not. As a result they are busy sending the US $ out.

      FOR THE KWACHA TO STABILISE TO PRE SATA ERA, SATA AND PF MUST GO OUT BECAUSE THEY ARE CAUSING A HUGE POLITICAL RISK TO ZAMBIA’S ECONOMIC CONFIDENCE INDICATORS.

      The only way this trend can be reversed is for Sata to stop all forms of dictatorial tendencies and restore all freedoms. Do away…

    • Libongeni, I hope Sata is giving paying £8000.00 per month plus allowances for carrying out his stupid orders, otherwise you are investing your time and effort for a long time in jail come the next government for being an accomplice in breaching the current constitution.

      If not ,I advice you Libongeni to resign now and save your face and life for the future.

      Ignore my advice at your peril !

    • To deter future public service workers from being too excited and to teach them to all the time be professional Libongani and Jere will be jailed for a minimum 5 years in 2016.

      This will ensure we have an impartial public service moving forward.

  1. Good morning

    Why not hold her accountable now? Such statements sound sensible but they don’t really mean much because the police will always work things out with the government of the day.
    It is only natural that the opposition be plugged in favour of the ruling party. The same police force would be holding Chipimo’s back if NAREP was in power.

    • I agree with you. HH when he wins the elections in 2016 he will even be a worse dictator and he will appoint a Tonga IG who will even be worse than Libongani – Same thing will apply to Chipimo – he will appoint some ka Bemba young IG and he will silence everyone.

      It is just the reality of politics in Africa – all African politicians, except Mandela of course, promise heaven on earth while in opposition. When they grab power they even forget where they come from and which friends they used to call and drink with.

      We will need a departure from this sort of political behavior. The likes of Chipimo, HH, Frank etc are not the type. You can just hear it when they speak – they say things just to make us like them. Once in power they have their own interests to look after.

      God Bless…

    • Any politician in Zambia from now on will know that “being in power” belongs to the people. It would be completely career ending to under estimate the people of Zambia….to follow the same path that others have tried for self gain. The people are aware now compared to the past. The world is smaller. Change and a new direction is needed and be opposition or the same gov. the people will have the last say.

  2. Its really a pity for IG to defend the indefensible. Surely IG Mateyo used the same POA and MCS and PF were able to hold meetings country wide. I think the POA is being implemented selectively: in favour of the ruling party and to the detriment of the opposition. Madam IG (Mrs Mulongwe) I know you to be a humble person who is objective in your judgement but to be honest you and your deputy have really let us down. Are you scared to be fired like antoneil mutentwa and brenda mutemba. If you ask me those two went with their integrity for signing the UPND kabwata rally. Could you please publish any permit you’ve given to PF for the meetings they’ve held so far. I think you’ve chosen to decampaign PF by seemingly supporting them. Ask a cross section of zambia and they will tell you that…

  3. in your wildest wet dreams chipimo. public officers can go through the court process in zambia but they always have good connections who enable the case to drag on for years with all these provisions like police bond, bail, appeals. just think of RB and his hooligan children, Sylvia Masebo, Nevers, ka under 5 (HH), Dora Silly etc. these people are politcal stars. there’s no judicial process that you can fashion against them and hope to win. like i have repeated many times before zamban law is for poor people without money and connections like those 45 youths who wanted a constitution. thats why i laugh at some people who follow rich i d i o t s out of regional or tribal associations.
    the time is now to join the right team and make your connections with judges, police and other high…

    • …..thats why i laugh at some people who follow rich i d i o t s out of regional or tribal associations.

      There goes this hutu apartheid genocide preaching skull……ICC niyako to face your crime against humanity and join these convicts:

      Germain Katanga – Congolese warlord
      Pascal Simbikangwa – Rwandan former intelligence chief jailed for 25 years

      Media Personalities (mumembe group) – Rwandan journalists charged with genocide, incitement to genocide, and crimes against humanity:
      Ferdinand Nahimana
      Jean Bosco Barayagwiza
      Hassan Ngeze

  4. THE POLICE MAY BE WRONG BUT THE UPND ALSO MUST LEARN THAT TO BE DIRECTLY CONFRONTATIONAL WITH THE POLICE IS NOT HELPFUL. HOW DO YOU CHARGE FROM THE VERY BEGINING THAT “EVEN IF THE POLICE GIVE US A PERMIT OR NOT WE WILL GO AHEAD WITH OUR RALLY”? THAT IS BEING CONFRONTATIONAL FROM THE ONSET. THE ZP HAVE THE POWERS THAT BE IN THEIR SUPPORT SO YOU END UP LOSING WITH LITTLE SYMPATHY.

    • no sympathy with these cry babies,everyday police has done this and that .it will not help to try and seek recognition by misbehaving so that pipo see that there are being mistreated ,who is hh he is just a ka small under five who always cry over everything and poor boy will never be president

  5. Mr Chipomo Jr. where on earth have you ever seem a person disobeying the appointing authority? Security wings follow orders and not the good english, lets be realistic and not just talk for the sake of talking. The IG is just doing her job, even you, would you be happy to work with a junior who disbeys your orders? Be merciful to her and do not blame an innoncent person. Blame the system and not the IG. Today if you were appointed in that position you do the same if not worse tahn her. Work on the system and all will be well with everyone.

    • Thats why the former Ivorian leader with his police and army chiefs are in jail pending trial by the Hague.

      Libongeni, I hope Sata is giving paying £8000.00 per month plus allowances for carrying out his stupid orders otherwise you are investing your time and effort a long time in jail come the next government.

  6. Just heard that she is suffering from a chronic monthly P.e.r.i.o.d syndrome given to her as a gift by her boss who is also suffering from a chronic bladder infection. These two diseases affect the ability of the brain’s functionality.

  7. The Lozis have a perfect saying for this: ati “kuswalela ndombe kwa muhata” – which literally means attempting to catch a cat-fish or bubble fish from the tail. If Chipimo wants to be a useful president he should demonstrate intelligence. Libongani is not the president of Zambia. Chipimo has zero credibility because he travelled with our President Sata on several internation trips….why didn’t he refuse to travel with the president who doesn’t even pay his salary????? And he expects Libongani to refuse orders???? Very silly analysis, but it is as expected from chipimo. Chipimo, please, let other people criticise our hard-working government, NOT YOU. Why are you criticising her for following orders? May be you want her job? Just shut up.

  8. Kwacha Yapena
    Stand off with Chitimukulu
    Stand off with Chief Jumbe
    Stand off with BRE!
    Stand off with the constitution!
    Stand off with dollar!!!
    We gongered ourselves.

  9. Personally, I feel sorry for our IG, I do understand the pressure she is undergoing to do the wrong things but my advice to her has always been that she should just step aside to save both her self, her family and her future.

    She may today feel that by stepping aside and letting go her position, she would be loosing an oppotunity but belive you me if she did step aside siting inteference, she would have invested for life. This advice is free, in other countries I would have asked for some form of payment from her so take it for gain or leave it at your own peril.
